"I welcome this Commission proposal, which I believe meets the expectations of the citizens of the European Union both in terms of increasing levels of environmental protection, and as regards efforts for the treatment, recycling, recovery and transport of waste.
The belief that environmentally responsible waste management is crucial is fortunately now widely accepted. Solid proof of this is the impact on the media that the transport of waste (and pollutants), in particular by sea and inland waterway, has had recently. Waste operators today – whether they are simply transporters or responsible for treatment, recycling or recovery – must be required to meet the highest possible safety and protection standards and procedures. To this end, regulations for control must also be established, depending on the type of waste transported and on the way in which it will be processed at its destination.
I also agree with the proposals for a Red List (more dangerous substances) and a Green List (less dangerous substances).
Lastly, I wish to emphasise the importance, in these matters, of constantly sharing information and best practice because of the frequent doubts, of a scientific and technical nature, about the fate that should be reserved for certain types of waste."@en1
