lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I wish to thank the rapporteur, Mr Blokland, for the sound and very extensive work he has done on this report. Obviously, we should also have liked to have got more out of the compromise with the Council. We have chosen not to put our names to it because we should have liked it to have had still more force to it but, at the same time, it is extremely doubtful whether a conciliation really would have been enough in order to achieve a result better than that achieved in these negotiations. When it comes to the legal base, we definitely want to defend treating these matters as environmental. The aim must be to deal with the serious environmental problems that arise in connection with the trade in waste. We think that it is quite absurd to view dangerous waste as a commodity like any other, and we therefore believe that Article 175 should be the sole legal base. In his introduction, the rapporteur discussed the lack of compliance with the existing rules. We can no doubt anticipate the new rules too being broken to some extent. Everything should therefore be done to ensure that they really are complied with. In that respect, the regulations before us could have had more bite to them, but the fact that they do not means that the Commission has that much more responsibility for really ensuring that these rules are implemented in practice. We must hope that you will apply yourselves to this matter instead of bringing the legal base into question. I also agree that, where the scrapping of ships is concerned, significantly stricter international regulations are required, and that is an issue to which we need to return as quickly as possible."@en1
