lpv:translated text	"One of the issues that has been leading to an increasing number of petitions is the environment, which is the largest group of petitions received, with waste-related petitions representing a significant subgroup of these. This seems obvious to me, since the problem of waste affects the citizens of the entire EU very directly, particularly as regards procedures for authorising new waste management facilities or operating existing ones, followed by concern about waste management in general: the ‘Not in my backyard’ syndrome. Apparently, the inability of public authorities in many Member States to deal satisfactorily with the problem of waste management could be a factor in the increase that has taken place. On the basis of 114 petitions which, fundamentally, indicate failings in waste management and the frequent inability of Member States to meet their legal obligations, this report recommends that the Member States should improve the application of waste management policy in the future, that they should speed up transposition of the Waste Framework Directive into national law, and that national authorities should apply necessary and suitable measures for combating the illegal dumping of waste. I voted in favour."@en1
