"Madam President, Europe is still dumping on its neighbours despite all our present laws and regulations.
Too much of our waste is ending up polluting the lives of Africans. This is a very toxic waste stream pouring out of Europe. It is immoral on two fronts, financial and environmental: financial because much of the minerals and chemicals we export have been imported into Europe and we have paid good money for them – we are wasting what could and should be used again – but also environmental because these countries cannot deal with our waste. Through the burning and physical handling of this toxic waste, vast natural areas, as well as men, women and children, are polluted and chemically burned.
These renewed proposals are much overdue – and I thank the rapporteur – but they will be worthless unless we enforce their provisions in every Member State and stop the exports now. We owe this to ourselves and to our currently abused neighbours."@en1
