"This report needed to be tabled as a result of the many petitions on waste management. I voted in favour of it in order to supplement the current legislation in force. The inability of many local authorities to manage waste disposal in the majority of Member States is certainly worrying. Furthermore, the fears of many communities for human health and the well-being of the land emphasise that waste management is becoming a real socio-political issue. An analysis of the current policies shows that only a few Member States are up to speed on the matter and even manage to generate profit by using advanced waste transformation systems. Instead, in the majority of the EU, we can see a worrying delay in implementing strategies for dealing with waste and an excessive dependence on landfills. Accordingly, we urgently need to put in place a coherent policy and work with greater determination to properly apply current legislation by setting out sustainable waste disposal plans. We need to do more, then, to respect the law and improve the waste management process in order to ensure more effective environmental protection and a more sustainable future."@en1
