[greenyes] EC asks for comments on waste prevention and recycling plan

["Reindl, John" <Reindl@no.address>]

The Commission of the European Communities is asking for comments on its
thematic strategy for waste prevention and recycling by the 30th of
November, 2003.

The 59 page plan is found on the Internet at
http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/en/com/cnc/2003/com2003_0301en01.pdf, while the
news release and request for comments on the plan is found at
http://europa.eu.int/comm/environment/waste/strategy.htm. Also on this
latter web page is a link to the proceedings of a recent conference on the
strategy and links to the comments received on the proposal.

Given that measures in Europe can set the stage for solid waste policies and
programs in other parts of the world, this might be a useful set of
documents to read and comment on.
