lpv:spoken text	"Since 2002, Ireland has had a levy on plastic bags. This has brought about a significant effect on the use of plastic bags, decreasing from 328 bags per capita to 21 bags overnight. However, not all EU Member States have put those types of measures into place. The majority of MEPs rightly saw the need for binding measures at EU level so as to tackle serious damage caused by plastics to the environment and biodiversity. Ninety-two per cent of the EU population agrees with reducing the use of plastic bags; furthermore, we believe that restricting the use at EU level will be a quick and sustainable way of reducing the problem."@en1
