lpv:translated text	". The soon-to-be-repealed Directive 91/157/EEC, which sets targets for the recovery and disposal of accumulators, formed part of the body of environmental legislation incorporated into the accession treaties following negotiations. The European Commission is currently proposing that a new system be put in place for the collection, processing and neutralisation of battery and accumulator waste. Poland has transposed the provisions of the previous Directive into national legislation, and is now in the process of implementing it. All of a sudden, however, new solutions are being proposed and collection targets being set that are much higher than before. There can be no question that this is the right way to guarantee safety and to make the environment in Europe cleaner, but this process should be compatible with the solutions that have been implemented to date. It is an unfortunate fact that most of the rapporteur’s amendments are not backed up by any studies or assessments of the impact that the new directive will have on business development in this sector. After all, it is business owners who will bear the costs of introducing the new legislation. The majority of Member States will find it impossible to achieve the collection targets proposed in Amendments 26 and 27 of the report. The new Member States are still at the stage of putting in place complex schemes for spent battery collection, pursuant to the Directive. There is no rational explanation for collection targets of 40% and 60% at the present time, and the proposal to increase the recycling target to 55% is equally intolerable and unjustified. Moreover, schemes for effective battery collection necessarily involve awareness raising and the fostering of a culture of battery collection at grassroots level. What this means is that a long-term approach is needed when proposing new solutions."@en1
