Corrected: Waste rapporteur backs prevention policy

Correction: This article was corrected on 8.12.14 to indicate that Simona Bonafé is a member of the S&D group.

Provisions on waste prevention should be added to the circular economy package, according to the MEP leading the European Parliament’s work on the file.

Simona Bonafé of the S&D group and shadow rapporteur Davor Škrlec of the Greens said they do not expect the European Commission to withdraw the proposal later this month, given the opposition of Parliament and many member states to such a move.
