"This report is intended to prevent the illegal export of waste electrical and electronic equipment. This has been the fastest growing type of waste in the EU over recent decades, and it is often deposited illegally in open-air dumps in developing countries. This situation worsens the EU’s development at the expense of the consumption of natural resources and of the health and environment of the poorest countries. This version, at second reading, improves the proposed legislation, which has improved scope, more ambitious objectives for collection and recycling, and more stringent regulation of exports. Consumers will be able to dispose of very small electrical and electronic waste, such as mobile phones, in various retail stores, without any obligation to buy a new product. I voted for the report for these reasons. However, I believe that nanomaterials should not be subject to the same treatment as other compounds, as they are extremely hazardous to health and the environment, and can be just as dangerous even during the recycling process."@en1
