".
I broadly shared the rapporteur’s stance. I am glad to say that this report responds to a broad consensus among all citizens, which was reflected particularly clearly in the almost unanimous vote at first reading. It is essential to encourage the recovery of packaging waste, as well as recycling it when possible and preventing it from being produced. The Union’s strategic objectives as set out in Lisbon, and especially the environmental dimension, reinforced and transformed into sustainable development in Gothenburg, require the adoption of measures and policies capable of combating environmental waste and damage. It is an established fact that protecting the environment is our only long-term guarantee of protecting our citizens and consumers. Like several members of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy, however, I must express my anxiety about bringing forward the proposed deadlines by which the Member States must move to implement the proposal for a directive. I would prefer a more realistic approach, as proposed in the common position, based on the treatment, recovery and recycling facilities actually in existence on the ground. We will achieve our aims, which will benefit everyone, by means of a credible and sustained strategy."@en1
