lpv:spoken text	"I voted to approve new rules on plastic waste. European governments will have to adopt measures to reduce the use of single-use carrier bags, either by introducing a charge, as we have done in Wales, or by another method, to achieve set targets. This is a welcome step. Every year nearly 100 million plastic bags are used in Europe and the number is growing. Eighty-nine per cent of them are used only once and then thrown away. Half end up in landfill sites where they can be blown into the environment. The legislation adopted in Wales was a major success. I am certain that this new EU legislation will have a similar impact."@en1
