•
WASTE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS A BURDEN, BUT RATHER AS A VALUABLE
RESOURCE – WHICH MS CAN ACTUALLY GAIN MOST?
•
TARGET FOR MUNICIPAL WASTE RECYCLING SET FOR 2020, AT LEAST ON THE EU LEVEL,
CAN BE ACHIEVED – THE CURRENT AVERAGE LEVEL ACHIEVED IS 43%
•
EC PROPOSAL IS PROVIDING PREDICTABILITY FOR BUSINESS SECTOR – ANALOGY WITH
CLIMATE AND ENERGY PACKAGE
•
THE PROPOSAL FROM THE EC IS RECOGNISING THAT SOME MS MIGHT NEED MORE TIME
AND ALSO MORE HELP … BUT
•
THERE ARE CLEAR EXAMPLES FROM THE LEAST DEVELOPED REGIONS THAT IT CAN BE
DONE IF THERE IS A WILL AND PROPER ORGANISATIONAL APPROACH
•
•
POLICY COHERENCE: COHESION FUNDS (CONDITIONALITY)
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY + PREDICTABILITY FOR ECONOMIC ACTORS + FUNDING +
HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT IMPROVEMENT = GOOD POLICY MAKING
*
•
•
•
IF PRICES DO NOT REFLECT THE TRUE VALUE AND COSTS OF RESOURCES,
•
IF …
IF REWARDS TO CAPITAL ARE DISPROPORTIONATE TO OTHER INPUTS,
IF MANAGERS ON ANNUAL CONTRACTS ARE INDUCED TO MAKE SHORT
TERM INVESTMENT DECISIONS OVERLY INFLUENCED BY BONUSES BASED
ON SHORT TERM SHARE PRICE,

INNOVATION (INCENTIVES)

YES ECO INDUSTRIES ARE IMPORTANT, BUT THE WHOLE
ECONOMY HAS TO CHANGE

CONSUMERS (BEHAVIOUR)
BUSINESS MODELS

PROTECTING ENVIRONMENT AND HUMAN HEALTH WILL NOT POSSIBLE
WITHOUT FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGING OUR ECONOMIC BEHAVIOUR WITHOUT GOING INTO THE ROOTS OF ECONOMIC THEORY
&
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT
RESPECTING THE LIMITS OF THE PLANET
FROM FRAGILITY TO SUSTAINABILITY
INCREASED RESPONSIBILTY

CARE WE OFFER TO OUR CHILDREN AND SUPPORT FOR THEIR
FUTURE IN OUR FAMILY PREMISES
AND
IGNORANCE AND RELUCTANCE OF THE SAME PARENTS VIA
THE FUTURE OF THE SAME CHILDREN WHEN IT COMES TO THE
PUBLIC POLICIES
AND TO THE OVERALL CARE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
