"Madam President, we need the review of the policy to strengthen our targets for less waste and more recycling.
The five-step hierarchy may not be the best solution, but is a step forward. That is why it would be a mistake to undermine the progress and agreement that we have achieved in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety with amendments that disrupt this hierarchy and promote incineration as the best solution, despite the fact that this method puts a considerable burden on the environment.
The Commission's legislative framework is inadequate: we need more ambitious targets on recycling, we need additional incentives for national and local authorities to develop the necessary infrastructures so that we do not end up promoting incineration by default and we need a stricter policy on dangerous waste. Above all, however, we need measures to support prevention.
Awakening the awareness of citizens to recycling is not enough. We need to support the development of new policy measures to gradually reduce waste and support research into products which are easier to recover, recycle and use for other purposes."@en1
