"Mr President, I would like to congratulate Mr Gerbrandy on an excellent report. The transition to a resource-efficient economy is inevitable and necessary. In 2050, the global population will reach 9 billion people and each of them will strive for a better life. As indicated by the Commission, at the current rate of resource use, in 2050, the equivalent of two Earths will be needed to sustain the world’s population. The case for ensuring each and every European policy is resource-efficient is therefore also economic. Member States must remove all obstacles to the market in waste recycling and reuse and provide economic incentives to promote innovative technologies for the collection and separation of waste. It is right to get to zero waste by banning landfill and phasing out the incineration of recyclables. We have to agree on indicators for resource use in economic activity, in other words, our footprint on the planet, our water footprint, our materials footprint and our carbon footprint. These indicators have to be used to promote legislative initiatives for sustainable development and less use of resources."@en1
