lpv:translated text	"Madam President, it is the beginning of January and the season has just started. The season when companies publish their annual figures for the year just past and their expectations for the coming year. We all know that these will be poor. They will be disappointing. Of course, we have the economic crisis, high unemployment and disappointing sales to blame for this. However, I will tell you a secret. The explosive increase in the cost of raw materials will be reflected in almost all of these corporate figures. These materials have gone up in price by dozens of percentage points in recent years. That will have a lasting impact on the European economy. That is also the essence of the directive that we are discussing today. Because we are throwing away hundreds of kilos of gold, silver, platinum and cobalt without reusing them. The Council ought to give this issue top priority. Unfortunately, the Council seems to be penny-wise and pound-foolish. This is very similar to the way in which it has been tackling the euro crisis. Madam President, I would, nonetheless, like to thank the Commission, together with Mr Florenz as rapporteur, for having done an excellent job of ensuring a good compromise but, ultimately, the compromise is still not what we need if we are really to have a Europe that deals efficiently with its resources."@en1
