"We Moderates consider this directive to be urgently needed for protecting the environment. Moreover, the directive’s basic principles of producer responsibility for future products and of opportunities for consumers to choose environmentally sound products are important.
The wording of Article 7 is somewhat unclear. We have interpreted it as follows: the financing referred to in Paragraph 2 applies to scrapping in quite general terms. It gives the Member States the opportunity, over a ten-year period, to opt for collective financing, for example taxes, as an alternative. This also needs to cover what is referred to as historical waste. After this period of time, derogations will only be possible if they have been approved by the Commission.
With the above interpretation, we voted in favour of the report."@en1
