"Mr President, I should also like to thank the rapporteur for his very efficient and effective work on this report. However, as has been said, the Verts/ALE Group has tabled amendments that reflect our position on a number of specific issues that we needed to reiterate.
Waste, and particularly hazardous waste, should only be transported where there is no alternative; the legislation has to be effective and enforceable to that end. Waste should include all types of waste, including animal by-products, and we should be very clear as to our definition of waste ships. As other Members have already said, since the EU decided to phase out single hull tankers, this issue has become more important. We know that we do not have the capacity within the EU to treat the waste ships ourselves, but it is urgent that we stop the dismantling of European ships in Asia under terrible social and environmental conditions.
We already have international agreements governing aspects of waste policy. It is very important that there be consistency between those agreements and new European legislation so that the very highest standards are adopted."@en1
