lpv:translated text	"The society of excessive consumption in which we live requires us to rethink how we recycle waste electrical and electronic equipment. The revision of the relevant directive was necessary both from the economic and the environmental and social aspects. While it is unacceptable to waste raw materials such as gold, silver and palladium, it is also unacceptable to bury toxic products such as arsenic, cyanide, mercury, and so on, or to export them to developing countries, thereby contributing to the growth of illicit dumping grounds. By acting in this way, we are complicit in the export of disguised toxic waste, allowing men, women and children in developing countries to expose themselves, without protection, to the toxic vapours emitted by heavy metals and dioxins during the burning of waste. It is our duty to ensure harmonious, balanced development, which is respectful of our planet, by changing our modern-day practices, so as not to bequeath a plundered and ravaged planet to future generations."@en1
