"The Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety makes it clear that the purpose of this directive is, in the first place, to limit the use of heavy metals in batteries and accumulators. The position of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety contains clear priorities and clarifies the objectives of the directive. The June List supports EU efforts regarding cross-border environmental issues. Heavy metal emissions are one such issue. We have thus voted in favour of this report and, overall, we support the position of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety on this issue.
We are not, however, in favour of individual amendments. We are, for example, critical of the European Parliament’s stating that public information campaigns on the collection and recycling of batteries should be conducted and of its putting forward views on how such campaigns are to be paid for (Amendment 33). We have every confidence that the Member States are capable independently of meeting the requirements laid down by the directive. Individual Member States must decide whether information campaigns, research or other measures are needed in order to achieve this aim."@en1
