"The vote on this report, which I supported, sends a clear signal for a strong EU initiative on waste management. The large number of petitions received on this issue highlights the concerns of citizens on the matter, concerns that I have shared for many years now. The European legislative framework is relevant, but nonetheless leaves out a number of major issues, such as innovative methods for the recovery, reuse, recycling and disposal of waste. This is, in my view, a key issue, both for its impact on the human health and well-being of Europeans, but also for the environment and sustainable development. I had questioned the Commission on what it was doing to reduce and recycle packaging waste associated with consumer products and on the need to eliminate food waste, which is a significant source of waste and an imperative of solidarity with the poorest citizens. I therefore call again on the Commission to make strong proposals for sustainable waste management throughout the supply chain. This is what Europeans expect, which I think is only fair."@en1
