"Mr President, we have before us an important directive and a sound report. If all Member States were to develop a system such as we are defining here, I think that would be a huge step forward. Member States that have devised systems which are now working should be able to retain those systems, in my view. I am pleased that that is possible. I think it is important in the region that I come from, too. I therefore consider that the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy has produced a sound compromise, thanks to the constructive obstinacy on the part of our rapporteur, as well as a number of other people. I regret – indeed, not everyone can be 100% satisfied with a compromise – that the visible removal contribution has to go. We are asking consumers to behave in a responsible manner, and that is why they need to receive backing. I have tabled an amendment concerning re-use, which I think is an excellent idea, except if there are new products which, on environmental balance, score more points. I therefore hope that I can count on the support of this Chamber for this amendment. In addition, recycling centres, which I also welcome with open arms, and which receive subsidies for their work – with good reason – should not only be allowed to cherry-pick, but should also ensure that recycling establishments do not only get the dregs. I assume that I can count on the support of this Chamber for that too."@en1
