"Mr President, ‘one size fits all’ is one of the curses of EU legislation and, if the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety gets its way, we will have under this directive another classic illustration of it in action.
Although not all extractive industries have the same environmental and safety impact, if the Committee on the Environment succeeds, then this legislation will make them all needlessly subject to the same restraint. Legislation to fit the need is one thing, legislation not tailored to need is invariably oppressive and destructive of competitiveness. So it is here, with the rapporteur trying to require all sites – regardless of size, product and complexity – to comply with all articles.
There is no sound reason why the shallow sand quarry should be subjected to the same legislative demands as the large, deep mine producing hazardous waste. The requirements for non-hazardous or inert waste should remain proportional and not, as proposed by the committee, be largely subjected to the same stringency as Category A hazardous-waste sites. The framework directive on waste and the landfill directive make adequate provision for non-hazardous waste quarries. There is no convincing or compelling reason for these further burdens to be placed on this important sector of our economic production."@en1
