I voted for this resolution, which urges the Member States to speed up transposition of the Waste Framework Directive into national law, as well as calling on national authorities to implement measures essential to combating the illegal dumping of waste. This European Parliament resolution on the issues raised by petitioners in relation to the application of the Waste Management Directive, and related directives, in the Member States of the European Union also calls on the Commission to monitor carefully the transposition by the Member States of the directive on the protection of the environment, to ensure that it is done promptly and effectively.
