"This report involves weighing up internal market issues against environmental issues. On the basis purely of principle, we believe that the EU Member States should decide for themselves whether or not they wish to allow domestic companies to import waste from other countries. One basic condition of such imports is, however, that agreements entered into on an international basis should be complied with and that the transported waste should not constitute an environmental risk for other Member States. Obviously, environmentally hazardous chemicals should not be carried on international waterways if there are alternative ways of transporting them.
Because it constitutes a sensible compromise between environmental considerations and compliance with the rules of the internal market, we have chosen to support the line taken by the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety. We believe, then, that international shipments of waste should be permitted provided that the waste as such does not constitute a significant environmental risk. In line with the above-mentioned thinking, we have opposed the rapporteur’s position on a number of key issues, for example his position that waste should not be allowed to be transported if said waste can be treated in the country in which it was produced."@en1
