Quotes in this article
Janez Potočnik concluded (about Zhou Shengxian) : "Our fruitful discussions today show that there is increasing convergence between EU and China when it comes to environmental protection. As we are both looking to move away from global economic slowdown to renewed economic growth, we realise that our growth model should not lead us into another crisis for not respecting the planet's boundaries. It's not only the economy - it's what kind of economy that counts. I am confident that the EU and China will build on this positive agenda at their Summit in Bejing next Tuesday, including on areas such as international climate action. It is encouraging to see that environment has been put at the heart of China's economic growth model. With their 12th Five-Year Plan and our Europe 2020 growth strategy we are working in parallel to build resource-efficient and environment-friendly societies. Today's exchange of views with Mr. Zhou Shengxian, Minister of Environmental Protection of China, showed that we agree on the need to develop a green economy, and to ensure good quality growth alongside growth in sufficient quantity. China noted the role played by market instruments in environmental protection and underlined the importance of exploring future cooperation in the field of green economic policies. We discussed our priorities for possible future cooperation and agreed to enhance environment policy cooperation on global environmental challenges, particularly during the run-up to two major international events this year: the 11th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 11) to the and the The EU-China Environment Policy Dialogue is a valuable mechanism and both sides agree on the importance of maintaining a regular exchange"

It's not only the economy - it's what kind of economy that counts. I am confident that the EU and China will build on this positive agenda at their Summit in Bejing next Tuesday, including on areas such as international climate action. It is encouraging to see that environment has been put at the heart of China's economic growth model. With their 12th Five-Year Plan and our Europe 2020 growth strategy we are working in parallel to build resource-efficient and environment-friendly societies. Today's exchange of views with Mr. Zhou Shengxian, Minister of Environmental Protection of China, showed that we agree on the need to develop a green economy, and to ensure good quality growth alongside growth in sufficient quantity. China noted the role played by market instruments in environmental protection and underlined the importance of exploring future cooperation in the field of green economic policies. We discussed our priorities for possible future cooperation and agreed to enhance environment policy cooperation on global environmental challenges, particularly during the run-up to two major international events this year: the 11th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 11) to the and the The EU-China Environment Policy Dialogue is a valuable mechanism and both sides agree on the importance of maintaining a regular exchange"

Janez Potočnik said: "Water pollution is one of the environmental worries most frequently cited by EU citizens. I welcome this advance as it is clearly answering people's expectations. These 15 additional chemicals need to be monitored and controlled to ensure they don't pose a risk to the environment or human health"

Antonio Amato continua: «Il sistema resta estremamente fragile e non sono stati fatti sostanziali passi in avanti. In più, il piano rifiuti, come varato, ipotizza soluzioni strutturali soprattutto nel lungo periodo, addirittura rischiando di ampliare la fase intermedia, la più fragile, che è proprio quella che la UE chiede di superare. Restiamo convinti - (\*) - che la scelta di una differenziata spinta al 65%, di più impianti di compostaggio e di una riduzione a monte dei rifiuti, se perseguiti con convinzione, darebbero risultati migliori e ben più celeri che quelli legati alla costruzione di tanti e presumibilmente inutili termovalorizzatori»

Janez Potočnik said: "Today's decision by the European Parliament is good news for health of our citizens, Europe's competitiveness, and the environment. In these challenging times of economic change and rising prices for raw materials, resource efficiency is where environmental benefits and innovative growth opportunities for European industry come together. The waste stream with the greatest relevance in this respect is electrical and electronic waste. Today, the European Parliament has given a great boost to this policy, raising the binding collection levels to 85% by 2019. I hope this will encourage some Member States to be more ambitious, and meet the new targets even sooner than this deadline. Proper treatment of WEEE is important to prevent harm to human health and the environment, and its systematic collection is the precondition for professional recycling of the valuable raw materials like gold, silver, copper and rare metals, contained in our used TVs, laptops and mobile phones"

Janez Potočnik erklärte: „Wir müssen Abfall als Ressource sehen – wenn wir diese Ressource im Boden vergraben, ist das mehr als kurzsichtig. Der vorliegende Bericht zeigt, dass Abfallbewirtschaftung und –recycling einen großen Beitrag zum Wirtschaftswachstum und zur Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen leisten können. Wenn die bestehenden Rechtsvorschriften richtig umgesetzt werden würden, könnten wir teuere Reinigungsaktionen, Umweltverschmutzung und Gesundheitsprobleme vermeiden. Außerdem sollten wir nicht vergessen, dass recycelte Materialen günstiger als Neurohstoffe sind – und dass durch ihre Nutzung weniger Treibhausgase ausgestoßen und wir weniger abhängig von Importen werden.“

This report shows that waste management and recycling can make a big contribution to economic growth and job creation. If the existing legislation was implemented properly, we could avoid costly clean-up operations, pollution and health problems. And let's not forget that recycled materials are cheaper than virgin ones – and that they reduce greenhouse gas emissions and our dependence on imports"
