lpv:translated text	"Mr President, in the part of Helsinki where I grew up, a waste truck is doing the rounds this week. WEEE waste can also be put into it upon payment of a special fee. One kilo per person per year is collected in the district. In another part of Finland, where ‘Rosk'n Roll’ operates, waste is collected and advice dispensed in return for a special eco-fee. Europe’s fifteenth largest waste recycling company also operates here – on the principles of the market economy. Eight kilos of WEEE waste per person is collected. I think we have something to learn from this practical example, as we also have from the matter of oil waste at sea and the way in which it is treated. There must be common systems in which the principles of the market economy apply. There must be no benefit from throwing things away. I support the rapporteur’s proposal because I believe that it fulfils these requirements. I would nonetheless observe that the proposal on brominated flame retardants does not in reality take account of the environment because it may lead to our having a great need to collect waste as long as we are not able to use plastic in some other way. I do not in actual fact believe that the amendment concerning flame retardants is of any benefit to the environment."@en1
