lpv:translated text	"The waste industry in the European Union is a public responsibility, frequently managed by private interests and multinational companies, which handles 60% of household waste and 75% of waste from businesses, with an annual turnover of EUR 75 billion. An analysis of the waste management policies implemented by EU Member States provides very contrasting information. Some Member States, including Romania, are lagging behind in their implementation of waste management strategies and, in this context, the legacy of the past and the excessive dependence on landfills, along with the attitude towards waste disposal, which should be changed, have caused numerous serious breaches of EU legislation to occur. Article 4 of the new Waste Framework Directive specifies a mandatory waste hierarchy: prevention, preparation for reuse, recycling or other forms of reuse, including energy recovery and disposal by means of safe incineration, with landfills as the very last resort. I call on Member States which are faced with obvious waste crises to consider the fact that more efficient waste management strategies provide opportunities for job creation and revenue growth, while ensuring environmental sustainability through reuse, recycling and the recovery of energy from waste."@en1
