lpv:spoken text	"Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) accounts for approximately 9-10 million tonnes of waste in the EU per annum, projected to increase to 12-13 million tonnes by 2020. I welcome this substantial improvement on the existing directive, outlining broader scope and increased collection and recycling targets. Ireland is a leader in Europe in the field of electrical and electronic equipment collection, already collecting around 9 kg per inhabitant per year – an amount equivalent to 35% of the EEE placed on the market. The target of 45% of EEE placed on the market by 2016 is welcome and should be achievable. In the context of resource efficiency, it is imperative that further efforts are made to increase WEEE recycling and reuse rates. The final outcome is more ambitious than originally hoped for, and I voted in favour of this report."@en1
