"Mr President, I should like to congratulate the rapporteur. I believe that the persistent shortcomings in terms of collection are due to the lack of ambition that we sometimes demonstrate. If it is possible to collect batteries in some Member States, then what is stopping the others from increasing their efforts?
Mrs Jackson quoted some figures. She forgot about Luxembourg. In 2001, the country boasted an 89.5% recycling rate. The text submitted to us for adoption refers to a minimum recycling objective per inhabitant per year of 160 grams; in 2004, this proportion stood at 245 grams per inhabitant in Luxembourg. These are the results of a large number of information campaigns and of a great deal of work in the field of prevention and awareness-raising, organised by the Luxembourg Government and by the town councils and supported by the retail sector, which actively participates in the collection efforts.
Mr President, this is indeed proof that collection with a view to recycling is possible, and I do not see why what has been achieved in Luxembourg could not be achieved in other countries. As for replacing cadmium, I believe that Parliament’s final objective should be the substitution principle, although an adjustment period is necessary."@en1
