"Mr President, illegal or non-compliant landfills and incinerators are indeed a disturbing problem. They are a threat to both health and environmental safety. They also mean the absence of the savings which can be realised by smart and effective waste management, and the absence of the potential to recover valuable raw materials which are in short supply. They also mean lost jobs.
Much remains to be done in the field of raising the citizens’ awareness about responsible waste management and its resultant benefits. It is important to have greater coordination of waste management at regional and local level, as well as for residents to have easy access to transparent information, not just about how waste should be sorted, but also about what happens to it later.
In many countries, modernising the waste management system is going to require significant investment. Funding this work should also be one of the Union’s priorities. Furthermore, it would be particularly useful to intensify action to identify best practices and facilitate their exchange at national level and throughout Europe."@en1
