"Mr President, I would like to bring to the attention of the House the problems faced by the rendering industry in the United Kingdom as a result of European Union legislation setting standards for incineration plants in the United Kingdom, namely the Waste Incineration Directive, which is now due to be implemented by the end of this year.
I was totally amazed last week when I learned that only three of the 25 Member States are, in fact, going to implement the Directive as originally intended. The tallow that is being designated as a waste in these three Member States will not be considered a waste in the other Member States.
I think this is wrong, it totally runs against the Lisbon Agenda and it is the type of thing we do badly in Europe. If we make a directive, and if we include a particular substance within a directive, then that directive should be implemented in all 25 Member States in the same way, together and simultaneously. There should not be different interpretations in different Member States.
It is not enough to blame national governments. The blame starts here because we should not allow it to happen in the first place."@en1
