lpv:translated text	"Ladies and gentlemen, the more urbanised society becomes, the larger the amount of waste becomes, and the larger are the problems associated with its disposal. The amount of waste involved is enormous; therefore, this reality demonstrates the topicality of legal regulation of waste at the European level and the necessity of increasing people’s awareness in regard to dealing with waste disposal. I support the Commission’s initiative to revise the General Directive on Waste Disposal, making it less complicated and much clearer. Sections 29–31 of the Directive set out new requirements for member countries to arrange national waste minimisation programmes. It is very important that more attention should be paid to the issue of waste, not only at the European level but also at the national level. However, the requirement to arrange a general waste minimisation programme for all types of waste is difficult to implement, since there are specific streams of waste and different possibilities for applying preventive measures. It would be more expedient to prepare guidelines for arranging national waste minimisation programmes and targeting certain types of waste for priority action, while leaving member countries the right to decide for themselves which other types of waste should also be targeted by the aforementioned programmes."@en1
