"Madam President, I would like to thank Mrs Jackson for her work. We have worked well together to make some improvements to the original Commission proposal, although we do not agree on everything.
Many people throughout the Union will be concerned about the proposal to ‘re–brand’ incinerators as a form of recovery if they meet certain efficiency criteria. We remain opposed to the ‘re–branding’ of incineration and have put down an amendment to have this deleted.
With regard to recycling, the latest proposed deal sets out targets which may be very difficult to enforce due to vagueness in the wording which states that, “member states shall take the necessary measures designed to achieve recycling targets.”
Good legislation demands that we be more precise in our wording on targets and do not leave interpretation to the European Court of Justice. Therefore we want to defend and keep the wording as voted by the committee.
Proposals on waste prevention have weakened to the point where they will not be able to make a substantive enough contribution or to clearly help Member States in stabilising and reducing their waste. The weakness of the reference to prevention targets means that a harmonised prevention initiative and indicators is not yet enshrined in legislation
Therefore, we can be cosignatories to some of the work we have done together. However, regarding other parts of it, we believe that we must table amendments. I would like, once again, to thank Mrs Jackson for the open and inclusive way she corresponded with the shadow raporteurs."@en1
