This report improves significant the release of the Waste Shipment Regulation revision by the European Commission, ensuring effectiveness of the revised rules in contributing to the objectives of the EU Circular Economy Action Plan and the EU Green Deal.
Facilitating shipments of waste for reuse and recycling in the EU, not exporting waste challenges outside the EU and addressing illegal shipments of waste, are crucial for the European Union to adequately manage waste shipments in a clean and more circular economy and to avoid losses of valuable resources that can be recycled in the EU.
Therefore, it is essential that the potential of EU recycling is fully unlocked, the waste domestic market functions smoothly and at the same time export of waste does occur only when comparable environmental, health and social conditions exist between the EU and third countries, and only when those conditions are verified with certainty. These are the reasons I voted it for.
