"This report tackles the problem of applying the Waste Management Directive and related directives in EU Member States, on the basis of complaints and petitions submitted to the European Parliament by groups of citizens, specifically from Greece. The rapporteur makes a series of observations that we consider positive, relating, in general, to waste management, to environmental protection and to raising public awareness. However, some aspects of the report are less positive and are bound to elicit comment. The report makes it clear that waste management is a public responsibility, but one that is frequently ensured by private entities. It does not hide that there are two multinationals controlling this business in two or three Member States, making money by the bucket load. Unfortunately, this model is not clearly rejected in the report, as was necessary. Moreover, the report mentions the 2007 directive. However, this directive has a problem: a failure to distinguish between toxic and normal waste has led, in some cases, to situations in which large companies produce toxic waste in ways that are incompatible with the primacy of public health and environmental protection interests."@en1
