lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, for far too long Europeans have generated waste with no or little concern about end-of-life recycling. Even now too few citizens instinctively deal with their waste electrical and electronic equipment. For example, last weekend, when I wanted to return a power strip to my local DIY store, the salesman did not have a clue what he was supposed to do with it. Fortunately, his supervisor told him that, in his shop, there was actually a collection point available to customers, which he only found out about at the same time as me. There is still a long way to go in this area. As we have already said, currently only 33% of waste electrical and electronic equipment is collected and treated appropriately. I will therefore be voting in favour of the text negotiated fiercely by Karl-Heinz Florenz, and I congratulate him for the outstanding work he has done throughout recent months. I congratulate him because he has set each Member State a target collection rate, by 2016, of 85% of waste electrical and electronic generated by their country. Above all, he gives them the resources to achieve this through increasing the number of collection points for this type of waste and reaffirming the principle of free waste disposal. This directive will allow progress to be made in terms of collection. It will support and reinforce a gradual change of behaviour in European citizens. Get sorting citizens of Europe! It does not cost anything, it is good for the planet and good for future generations. I take this opportunity, Mr President, to congratulate you on your election and ask you to make your contribution to energy efficiency by trying to raise the temperature in here but use less air conditioning. It is cold in this Chamber and, for the sake of energy efficiency, it would be better to alter the temperature settings."@en1
