PRESS RELEASE - The Environment Committee of the European Parliament votes for waste prevention and recycling targets... What’s next?
The Association of Cities and Regions for Recycling and sustainable Resource management (ACR+) welcomes favorably the positions voted by the Environment Committee of the European Parliament on 8 April 2008. The vote is in keeping with the position advocated by ACR+ in favour of waste prevention and recycling targets, which are vital to ensure the implementation of a multi-level waste management hierarchy.
However, this vote is not a final decision and one may fear that the requirements be weakened in the next steps of the procedure.
