lpv:translated text	"Mr President, firstly, as other Members have done, I would like to thank the rapporteur for the attention she paid to each of us who presented amendments and her acceptance of some of those amendments. I agree with the Commissioner that the 1994 Directive has certain positive aspects, in that, to a greater or lesser extent, all the Member States distribute waste at source and recover, recycle and re-use waste. I believe that it has those effects, although there are significant differences in each of the Member States. I also agree with the rapporteur that it would be necessary, on this as on other aspects of environmental policy, since there are regulations, directives and decisions, to simplify and consolidate the legislation. There are perhaps two issues which are the most controversial amongst the various groups: the first is the levels of concentration of lead, cadmium, mercury and chromium present in packaging and the second is the particular percentage of recycling and recovery for each of the materials proposed. I believe that in the end it may be necessary to deal with the strictest aspects of these two issues, in order to be able to achieve a possible conciliation with a high level in the Directive. There is also a concern of the rapporteur which we share, relating to the marketing of recycled products, which involves very many difficulties and, like the rapporteur, I believe that the public administrations must have these opportunities to contract recycled products. I will end, Mr President, with what I believe to be the most important aspect of this issue: prevention. Consumers must participate in prevention. Experience demonstrates that consumers, if they are appropriately informed, duly participate in it. For their part, as we saw in Johannesburg, producers are responsible for the use of materials which produce less waste and they must take account of the emission of greenhouse gases, dumping and the protection of scant natural resources."@en1
