lpv:translated text	"Commissioner, firstly I congratulate you on the position which you expressed in the Commission as regards vehicles. Even though progress in waste management has been made over recent years, there are still huge differences between the Member States as regards the volume of waste that is re-used or recycled and as regards its method of disposal. In my country, for example, and perhaps to a lesser degree in other countries, a very large proportion of waste ends up in uncontrolled dumps and re-use or recycling are underdeveloped. Today, as my honourable friend Mr Sonik said earlier, about one and half tonnes of waste are generated annually per average European citizen, most of which ends up in landfills, not in residue landfills. Re-use and recycling are at excessively low levels and we have not done much to reduce or even stabilise overall waste generation. The negative effects will only be addressed if we create national programmes to put prevention first and reduce the amount of waste to start with. Just think that in Greece in the year 2000 there were 4.5 million tonnes of waste and in 2006 there were 6 million tonnes of waste. We therefore need to set up a hierarchy of targets which prioritise reductions in the volume of waste, re-use, recycling and recovery and lay down a specific implementation timetable which is common to all the Member States."@en1
