lpv:spoken text	"The proposal includes a series of controversial measures: it introduced an EU-wide reduction target of at least 80% to be achieved within two years; sets an EU price for carrier bags; and empowers the Commission to adopt delegated acts to identify the criteria for resourcing bio-based materials in a sustainable manner; phased out oxo-biodegradable plastics from packaging materials; and proposed substituting hazardous substances for packaging as a whole. As a single market measure under the new approach framework, legislative harmonisation must be limited to the essential requirements needed to ensure the free movement of products throughout the EU. I am therefore not in favour of the EU defining limits or the types of packaging used for specific applications in Member States. Although I support measures to reduce the consumption of plastic carrier bags, I believe this is better off left to national and regional governments to implement."@en1
