"I warmly welcome the proposed revision; the agreement between the Council and Parliament enabled a very important signal to be sent. Europe cares about environmental protection on the European continent and elsewhere. Electronic waste in industrialised countries is growing three times faster than conventional waste as a result of the rapid pace of technological innovation as well as of the short service life of many electronic products. Effective management of electrical and electronic waste is a tremendous opportunity to increase the amount of waste collected. The entire life cycle of these products, from manufacture through distribution to discarding, is a problem that this directive should alleviate. The new objectives really are ambitious, and I therefore consider a further important task to be ensuring that the costs of returning waste do not bring other costs for customers. Controls carried out by the Member States will be of fundamental importance in this area."@en1
