"I voted for the resolution on the issues raised by petitioners in relation to the application of the Waste Management Directive and related directives in the Member States of the European Union. In the 2004-2010 period, 114 petitions were submitted to Parliament, reporting possible breaches of the waste management regulatory framework from the following Member States: Italy, Greece, France, Spain, Ireland (more than 10 petitions each), Bulgaria, the UK, Poland, Romania (3-10 petitions each), Austria, Hungary, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal and Slovakia (1 petition each). According to a survey carried out for the Commission, roughly 2.6 billion tonnes of waste are generated every year in the EU, which is roughly six tonnes of waste per capita, while roughly 90 million tonnes of waste are classified as hazardous. The same survey highlights that many Member States lack sufficient capacity for preparing waste management plans and for carrying out inspections, controls and other actions required to implement waste legislation properly. The resolution calls on the Commission and Member States to establish and implement comprehensive waste management plans, including the adoption of all the goals set by the specific European legislation, as well as solutions for the necessary funding."@en1
