lpv:translated text	". These days, outrageous packaging is a form of advertising in order to entice buyers. A great deal of material is wasted on it. It sounds environmentally aware to blame the consumers who buy packaged food or packaged products. However, those consumers do not create waste themselves, but are left with it following their purchases. They become the victim of conditional sales, because these days, it is often impossible to buy anything without wrapping. That is why we need to tackle the production and sale of waste at source instead of focusing on the consumers. In the proposed resolution, Mrs Corbey is right to make manufactures and retailers responsible for the prevention of the production of packaging waste and notes that precious little has been achieved since the 1994 packaging directive. The European Commission remains disinclined to present fresh proposals, and the Member States implement earlier recycling agreements with a delay of years. The rapporteur’s proposal is still torn between two ideas. I wholeheartedly agree with her attempt to prevent waste. However, I differ with her on the proposal to get the consumer to pay more for all that waste. Re-use may be important, but is not the most important solution."@en1
