lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is true that the aim of the directive on the management of waste from extractive industries is to prevent and minimise any harmful impact of waste on the environment or public health. The aspects of the directive relating to environmental protection require further work, however. In places the directive is also irrational, and it will create more red tape. Historically, the extractive industry in Poland has been a mainstay of the national economy, and this continues to be the case today. It was for this reason that, during pre-accession negotiations, Poland pressed for the relaxation of certain provisions making it mandatory for operators of waste treatment facilities to provide financial guarantees. Even highly hazardous industrial sectors do not comply with such requirements. After the draft directive had been submitted to Parliament, the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety adopted amendments that ran counter to earlier decisions made regarding the draft. These amendments are extremely disadvantageous to the Polish extractive industry, since the additional burdens they entail will result in it becoming uncompetitive, as well as posing a risk of bankruptcy for the brown coal industry. This would present a threat to energy security in Poland. The draft directive transfers too broad a range of responsibilities to industrial entities. Furthermore, it places hazardous waste on the same footing as inert waste. The end result of all this will be a sharp increase in operating cost, and the need to allocate huge sums of money from state budgets to cover the costs of drawing up inventories of facilities and adaptations to the latter. It is for this reason that some indication of funding sources is urgently needed."@en1
