"In a modern society in which the ‘throw-away’ mentality has gained ground, sustainable waste management is making progress, as was very clear during the debate and vote on the report on waste electrical and electronic equipment during the last plenary sitting. Following a series of petitions denouncing threats to the environment in a number of Member States, Mr Iturgaiz Angulo is tabling a report on the application of the Waste Management Directive, and related directives, in the Member States of the European Union. The public have a right to know how waste is processed. Human health and the environment are at stake. Despite strict European legislation, there are Member States in difficulties, some of which have had infringement cases brought against them. At a time of economic crisis, we cannot waste resources. It is therefore crucial to reuse, recover and recycle waste. I voted for this report because it has significant benefits, as regards environmental preservation and human health. It is not enough for us to have the best legislation in the world: it needs to be respected. We must view recycling as an opportunity to create jobs and boost the economy."@en1
