"Waste electrical and electronic equipment is one of the fastest growing types of waste. This can be put down to the increasing pace of life, technologies that are developing ever more quickly and the desire to have the latest and most modern equipment. Spinning around in this wheel, we face two major problems – resources and waste. I voted in favour of this report because I agree with the objective of collecting as high a percentage of used equipment as possible, and recycling and reusing it. Only then will we be able to reduce the need for resources and the amount of items going to landfill. I believe that the objectives outlined can be achieved but it will not be easy. The new EU Member States will need to make a particular effort. Sadly, we do not have a spare planet. If we want to maintain a high level of consumption in the future, we must act more responsibly with the natural capital that remains and not waste it."@en1
