lpv:spoken text	"I voted in favour of this report. Plastic bags are not biodegradable and can take between 400 and 1 000 years to break down in the environment. It is estimated that 1 million plastic bags are used every minute globally which makes it no surprise that plastic waste is causing some serious impacts on the worldʼs oceans. Plastic never completely deteriorates – it breaks down into ever smaller pieces. With up to 12 000 000 tons of plastic entering the world’s oceans every year it is worrying but inevitable that the fish we eat will have ingested some of it. In Ireland, both north and south, the plastic bag charges have a proven record. Indeed, Ireland was the first country in the world to introduce such a levy and currently charges EUR 0.22 per bag. The number of bags used per inhabitant fell from 328 per year to just 21, already well below the target of 90 in this report."@en1
