"The majority of European citizens expect public authorities to provide effective and efficient public services in health, education, transport and security. An area that causes an increasing number of petitions, however, is the apparent inability of public authorities in many countries to address the issue of waste management in a satisfactory manner.
The European Union has adopted many laws applicable in all Member States in order to ensure the existence of a legal framework for dealing with the inevitable consequence of our modern lifestyle, that is, items discarded as waste from households, work, hospitals, industry and so on. Inadequate management and an inability to prioritise efforts in this respect not only have negative consequences for human health and well-being, but also have a negative effect on the environment in the broadest sense of the word.
Analysis of the waste management policies implemented in the EU Member States provides very different information. A number of Member States are very advanced, and no petitions were received from their citizens in which problems relating to waste management were indicated. Many other EU countries, however, lag far behind in the implementation of waste strategies. I believe that, in order to improve the effective management of waste, it will be necessary in the future to help improve the implementation of policies in this area."@en1
