"Madam President, first of all a few words on Egypt. The External Action Service will need to be activated to the maximum in the difficult times ahead, in order to protect European citizens in Egypt, the rights of minorities in Egypt and the historic institutions that represent them, such as the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate in Alexandria.
Now to come back to my basic subject of waste. Although we have a high-level legislative framework, almost every Member State faces infringement difficulties. Many are reporting rubbish crises and some sectors, such as cross-border transportation of waste, are in mass breach of Community law. At the same time, for political reasons, the famous ‘not in my back yard’ policy, the Member States are not participating as effectively as they should in the efforts being made.
The Commission therefore needs to propose new additional instruments, such as extending the responsibilities of the European Environmental Agency and the facility for the Union to send missions to verify information in the Member States. The Commission needs to think about this in light of the proposals for 2012."@en1
