lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, my group very much supports the report by Mrs Corbey and the compromise amendments, which improve the text. We also have some amendments of our own which we would urge Members of Parliament to support, particularly as the directive makes it more difficult for Member States with more progressive policies to go ahead in a more environmentally friendly way. There should be nothing to prevent Member States from making progress. I received a briefing from my own Department of the Environment in Ireland today, bemoaning the fact that it was going to be very difficult for Ireland. That is only because Ireland has done nothing about the waste problem or about packaging. In two other amendments we look to the Commission to present a proposal which takes proper account of the role of packaging throughout the logistics chain. It should also be putting forward proposals on prevention and reduction. That is where the problem really lies. We need to reduce and prevent the amount of packaging first of all, not look at what we are going to do with it afterwards, particularly the amount that goes into landfill."@en1
