"I voted against this report as the Socialist rapporteur called for binding targets for collection, separation and recycling by 2020. An enforced, harmonised and overly bureaucratic set of rules on the disposal of plastic waste across the whole European Union will further burden UK householders with additional requirements as to how much, and in what way, they need to recycle. This comes at a time when families already have to sort their rubbish into a variety of bins.
Furthermore, I am not in favour of binding targets for Member States regarding the ban on landfilling, as there are great differences among the regions and differences in the types of waste they produce. In my view, a new proposal for legislation is nonsensical while we still have Member States not complying with the existing legalisation. While I agree that we need to dispose of our waste better, we must not lose our grip on reality by applying a one-size-fits-all approach, and we must work hard to prevent the EU taking green rules to the extreme once again."@en1
