"Most European citizens expect public authorities to provide efficient and effective public services in terms of health, education, transport and security. However, one issue that provokes a growing number of petitions is the apparent inability of public authorities in many countries to deal satisfactorily with the problem of waste management. The European Union has adopted a broad raft of legislation, applicable in all Member States, in order to ensure that the legal framework exists to deal with the inevitable result of our modern lifestyle, in terms of all the things we discard as waste, from our household, from our place of work, from our hospitals, from our industries and so on. It is obvious to all that failure to manage such issues, and failure to prioritise efforts in this respect, produces not only negative effects on human health and well-being, but also on the viability of the planet and its environment in the broadest sense. Lessons should be learned from such examples, however, and the recommendations contained in this report should therefore contribute to better implementation of waste management policy in the future."@en1
