lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, in the context of Johannesburg and the commitments to sustainability by the EU, it should not be too much to ask this Parliament to give concrete expression to sustainability, particularly in requiring that the principle of producer responsibility and the internalisation of external costs be enshrined in the current review. We have already agreed this in the case of the electronic and electrical waste directive. I am particularly concerned that my own Member State, Ireland, is seeking derogations yet again. Why should this be agreed in view of the recent economic expansion there? My colleague has already mentioned this. Irish industry is currently paying a levy to Repak to meet commitments that are not being met. Minimum targets are being met, for example by the recycling of paper offcuts which have traditionally been reused, so there is more perception of progress than actual progress and a lot of smoke and mirrors around the meeting of minimum targets. I am also very concerned about monopolies and cartels in the paper industry, particularly in Ireland."@en1
