"I voted in favour of this European Parliament report because many European Union citizens are submitting petitions regarding waste management and the majority of petitions concern waste management facilities. Through the petitions process, citizens are expressing the feeling that the public authorities are not in control of the situation and are sometimes not prepared to make the effort required to find solutions. The relationship of trust is damaged and there is a downhill slide towards open confrontation and paralysis, thereby preventing action. Furthermore, the majority of EU citizens expect public authorities to provide efficient and effective public services in the areas of health, education, transport and security. Thus, one issue that provokes a growing number of petitions is the apparent inability of public authorities in many Member States to deal satisfactorily with the problem of waste management. The European Parliament calls on the Member States to transpose the Waste Framework Directive into their national law without further delay and to ensure full compliance with all its requirements, above all, the requirement to establish and implement comprehensive waste management plans, as well as the timely conversion of all the set goals within the framework of European legislation. The Commission should also carefully monitor the transposition by the Member States of the EU directive on the protection of the environment through criminal law, to ensure that it is done promptly and effectively."@en1
