lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the intention was that the new proposal on the monitoring of trade in waste would be drafted in line with the principle of better regulation. The latter was adopted by Parliament, the Commission and the Council in 2001, and aims to ensure that the best possible legislation is produced and that the regulations adopted are beneficial and clear. In my opinion, however, the draft report contains superfluous provisions that impose unnecessary restrictions on this sector of the economy and hinder its development, instead of improving the transport of waste. This is yet another example of overregulation and the production of legislation that fails to take account of the actual state of affairs. In order to limit the movement of waste, the rapporteur has proposed banning the export of any waste that can be dealt with at the point of its generation. It would be impossible for the new Member States to implement this provision, since it is hardly likely that thousands of new plants would be built at locations where waste is stored and generated. I am in favour of unrestricted trade in waste within the common market. Some of the provisions that have been drafted are evidence of a worrying trend, since they bear the hallmarks of overregulation and unnecessary legislative duplication. Relevant examples of this include the addition of ships and aeroplanes to the list of hazardous wastes, and the ban on the export of ships and aircraft intended for scrap. I would note that such issues are regulated under conventions adopted by the International Maritime Organisation and the International Civil Aviation Organisation. Both the Member States and the European Union are signatories to these conventions. I also fail to understand why it is necessary to tighten up regulations on the export of household waste. Once again, this issue is regulated under the 1999 Landfill Directive. The same applies to trade in animal by-products, which is covered by the Veterinary Directive currently in force. In my opinion, the regulations should be harmonised and made more detailed in the light of international conventions. This proposal should not serve as an excuse to lay down new standards and to move the goalposts where environmental protection is concerned."@en1
