"I would like to congratulate the rapporteur on achieving this important goal. Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) represents the fastest-growing waste stream in the EU and we therefore face a range of challenges.
On the one hand we need to address the environmental and health consequences if this equipment is not properly treated and disposed of and, on the other, there is a serious problem of loss of raw materials. In a globalised economy, the efficient and innovative use of energy, materials and resources is a key issue. Stepping up the collection and proper treatment of this waste in accordance with the directive thus constitutes a major challenge.
The proposed amendments are designed to increase the rate of separated collection, to reduce loss of waste equipment within the ‘WEEE system’, while preventing illegal shipment, and also to ensure that WEEE receives appropriate, high-quality treatment. In addition, red-tape at national level should be reduced, thus removing impediments to the internal market."@en1
