"Mr President, Commissioner, rapporteurs, waste is a growing problem within Europe and outside. We are at risk of slowly drowning in our own waste. It is therefore high time we cracked down on it before we literally get in it over our heads. In this respect, it is important to bear in mind that waste has now become a trading product with its own adverse effects to boot. According to physical inspections, one third of the extremely lucrative waste transports are illegal. Fresh, tough policy is therefore called for, but we do have to choose the right methods. The restriction, reuse and recycling of waste are all sustainable options, whereas investing heavily in combustion furnaces, as Mrs Jackson suggests, is going completely the wrong way, both from the point of view of the climate issue and from the point of view of retaining our natural resources. Sound waste policy must solve problems and certainly not create any new ones."@en1
