"Mr President, firstly I would like to remind colleagues and the French presidency that, at Parliament’s first reading on 14 November 2007, a considerable number of MEPs – 295 in fact – voted against this directive.
There is no doubt that there are significant concerns about the cost of the proposed directive, especially those sections on contaminated land and national inventories.
Subsidiarity is a key question here, given that soil has limited cross-border effects, unlike air and water which, of course, are mobile. The proposed directive would force too many Member States with already-effective domestic measures to dismantle them, as they would be incompatible with the directive.
The point is not that we do not need any EU action on soil protection – indeed, the thematic strategy contains many good suggestions – but that any new EU strategy on soil protection should add value to and complement, not replace, Member States’ existing domestic policies."@en1
