Letter to European Commission on the revision of the Waste Framework Directive (WFD)
With the support of 10 Members of the European Parliament and 47 other NGOs, the European Environmental Bureau has sent an open letter to EU Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries, Virginijus Sinkevičius, calling for urgent action in order to tackle the waste crisis. In the letter, the signatories state their concerns regarding the Waste Framework Directive revision’s very limited scope. The signatories urge the Commission to adopt legally binding, European-level quantitative targets for municipal solid waste prevention.
