Protection of soil - Thematic Strategy for Soil Protection (debate)

Where is the justification for European regulations on soil protection?

I believe that soil protection should remain within the competence of Member States.

There is no need for a framework directive on soil protection.

For many in this Chamber, soil protection is a sore point.

Regulations on soil protection have no cross-border effect.

I do not believe that there is a need for additional legislation relating to soil protection.

Adopting a framework directive on soil protection would be putting the cart before the horse.

There is no need for those countries that have clear soil protection to do it all over again.

in writing. - (EL) The Commission's proposal on soil protection is generalised and vague.

I myself worked on the soil protection directive.

I must make it clear, though, that I vehemently reject the regulations on soil protection.

That would increase the differences in soil protection legislation more than it would even them out.

I therefore continue to believe that the Member States can regulate soil protection themselves.

However, none of these arguments means that soil protection should be a European task.

Many countries already have soil protection legislation.

Soil protection makes work, but it does not create jobs.

The European strategy for soil protection does not mean a standardised, one-size-fits-all approach.

Madam President, this proposal for a directive on soil protection has huge credibility gaps.

The new Member States already have national soil protection legislation that functions well.
