Lettera aperta a Juncker sull'Economia Circolare



Jean-Claude Juncker
President
European Commission,
Rue de la Loi 200
1049 Brussels

CC: Vice President Timmermans, Commissioner Vella

Brussels, 19
November 2014,
Dear President Juncker,

We, the undersigned, are writing to express our deep concern about the potential withdrawal
of the Circular Economy Package from the Commission’s 2015 Work Programme. Given its
potential for green job creation, resource security, environmental protection and economic
growth, combined with the strong support from a wide variety of stakeholders, we condemn its
possible withdrawal.

Since its release in July, the political process has begun in earnest, and we stress that this must
be allowed to continue. During October’s Environment Council Meeting, Member States
explicitly recognised that a transition towards a resource efficient circular economy is essential
for our future competitiveness and long-term sustainable development. The Committee of the
Regions has already issued a draft opinion, and the European Parliament has also begun its
work, demonstrating the strength of interest in this proposal.

Numerous studies have highlighted the significant environmental, economic and social benefits
of moving towards a circular economy. In addition to clear environmental benefits, the impact
assessment shows that full implementation of current EU waste legislation together with more
ambitious waste policy would create over 580,000 jobs, increase the annual turnover of the EU
waste management and recycling sector by €42 billion and would save €72 billion a year in
waste management costs. As such it is a cornerstone for Europe’s future competitiveness.

With broad stakeholder support across Europe, we call on the European Commission to respect
the will of European citizens, municipalities, politicians, academics, NGOs and businesses by
supporting the continued discussion and adoption process for the Package.

Yours sincerely,
Anastasia Roniotes, Head Officer, Mediterranean Information Office for Environment, Culture
