Firmly believes that the rights of members of national minority communities must be guaranteed in order to create appropriate conditions for their development, and that such rights must be comparable with those enjoyed by members of majority communities in EU Member States and Eastern European partner countries; notes that, since national minorities do not have legal personality, they cannot be legal subjects and cannot therefore be party to contracts or covenants; underlines, however, that they must be the object of collective protection and that their members must enjoy the capacity to act — either as individual legal subjects or within the framework of various entities with legal personality — in defence of the respective national minorities’ identity and cultural rights; stresses that these rights are not territorial or connected to territory and that their recognition and protection must be legally regulated both at the level of each nation state concerned and at transnational (international) level (Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly Recommendation No 1735 (2006) on the concept of ‘nation’);
C.

whereas Nadiya Savchenko has been elected a Member of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and appointed as a representative of Ukraine to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) during her imprisonment; whereas PACE Resolution 2034 (2015) called for her immediate release and for her parliamentary immunity to be respected, including by the Russian Federation which is a member of the Council of Europe;
8.

Recalls that uncollected waste represents a serious public health issue in developing countries, particularly for children living in households without a waste collection service, while blocked drains aggravate floods and spread infectious diseases; is alarmed by the health and environmental impact of open dumping and burning (severe land pollution and freshwater, groundwater and sea pollution; local air pollution and climate change); highlights the fact that, according to the UNEP Global Waste Management Outlook (2015), the cost of inaction in developing countries (in terms of health care, lost productivity, flood damage, clean-up costs, etc.) exceeds the financial cost per capita of proper waste management by a factor of 5-10; urges the Commission, against this background, to provide proper incentives for public investments in the environmentally sound management of waste streams in the ACP States; stresses that any incentives to encourage private sector engagement should promote sustainability, job creation with full rights and wealth creation that will guarantee sustainable development; considers that incentives for investments could include the lowering of contributions, tax exemptions, incentives to encourage hiring, particularly of young people, and staff training, along with the exchange of good practices;
