"Judging by the petitions we have received, the citizens of the European Union are concerned about Member States’ inability to have effective and sustainable waste management policies. The European Parliament has listened to you. Like a number of my colleagues, I have voted in favour of the resolution, which seeks to improve these policies. Even though they are often guaranteed by private interests, these companies provide a kind of public service. We have therefore called for clearer and more specific criteria for the location of landfills in relation to local housing, schools or health facilities. It is also about greater communication about the merits of pre-sorting waste, and driving home the point that, although adequate waste management can be expensive, it can attract investment and create jobs. Everyone remembers when ponds containing red toxic sludge were breached in Hungary leading to the devastation of a village, or the landfill, near Marseille, which, in 2008, was close to saturation, despite being well managed. The problem is therefore one that affects the whole of Europe."@en1
