MEPs CORNER

“I expressed my first reaction to the new Circular Economy package in the EP plenary just a few hours after the Commission had made the proposal public. The Commission delivered and submitted a rather complex and realistic proposal on time. Having said this, it is by no means perfect.

As a rapporteur for the opinion on a large part of the waste legislation I am very much looking forward to work on this file. There are still many issues to be addressed and I hope the European Parliament will find the right balance.

My perception of the circular economy reflects largely also the industrial dimension. Therefore, I will promote such an approach that will enable industry to bring the Circular Economy concept to life.”
