lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I must address Mrs Corbey and say that she has done a fantastic job on a hopeless subject. This is a waste directive that is not really concerned at all with packaging but with packaging waste. To discuss this is, in actual fact, to begin at the completely wrong end of the production chain. If we wanted to achieve a reduced quantity of waste and reduced mileage, especially for lorries transporting waste on motorways, we should begin by discussing packaging, the role of packaging, logistics and how we could gain a huge amount, both environmentally and in terms of road use, from having fully adapted packaging. Nor does it make any sense at all for us to occupy ourselves with recycling – irrespective of whether it be recycling proper, including energy recycling, or re-utilisation – and for us to spend the whole time debating the packaging that goes out to households. Clearly, we should have a much more rational system whereby the greater part of packaging material goes to shops, institutional households, wholesalers etc and whereby the packaging we carry home is as simple, slim and small as possible, almost to the point of being non-existent. As matters stand, it is a question not of strength but of design. We shall, in the main, support Mrs Corbey’s compromise proposal, even though we have not, for various reasons, endorsed it."@en1
