lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I am delighted to have the opportunity to contribute to the debate this evening. I am extremely concerned about this issue, because once again Europe is trying to bring in and implement a draft regulation that tries to make one suit fit all. I do not think this can work and that is where I have a problem. We should not be so dictatorial with our directives. As someone has already pointed out in this debate, not all quarries that are extractive industries are the same. I have no doubt that some of the very large industries will be able to cope with this and take it in their stride, but the small entrepreneurs trying to develop small industries and get them off the ground are probably going to be hit very hard. I have no objection when we are talking about hazardous waste, because that always has to be controlled. But it will be the smaller businesses where jobs will be lost; they are the ones that will go to the wall. Nor do I believe we should bring in directives that are not implemented in the same way in each Member State. I have personal experience of this. I come from Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom, and across the border, in the Republic of Ireland, the waste oil directive is interpreted differently. In quarries six miles apart, one in Dundalk and the other in Newry, a European directive is being implemented differently in two Member States. Waste oil is considered hazardous in the United Kingdom, whereas in the Republic of Ireland it is not. This is forcing quarry owners to move from Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland in order to compete, because otherwise they cannot. I do not believe that we should be producing European directives that can be interpreted in different ways. I believe that will happen with this one as well, and quarry owners are not happy about that."@en1
