"I am very pleased with this European Commission proposal. Up until now, there has in fact been no specific legislation applicable to the extractive industries. The existing directives were used, in particular the framework directive on waste and the landfill directive. That was not really satisfactory, however, especially since the extractive industries produce large amounts of waste. It is easy to imagine the chain of harmful effects on the environment that might flow from bad management. It was therefore high time that these activities were regulated and the specific needs of the sector met.
Generally speaking, the extractive industries view this proposal favourably. I know that some differences have emerged concerning the classification of waste. The most important thing is to establish criteria for determining which kinds of waste are hazardous and which are not. It is also important to look to the future and encourage research into more sustainable production that produces less waste. I also support the creation of a financial guarantee to pay for the rehabilitation of sites after closure."@en1
