The Commission is proposing that, when deciding on the best way of handling a waste stream, a life cycle analysis be carried out.
The Commission is proposing that, when deciding on the best way of handling a waste stream, a life cycle analysis be carried out.
With the help of such an analysis, it is possible to determine what way of handling waste is best for the environment taking account of the whole of the life cycle, from production up to and including the treatment of waste.

Although it is always desirable to improve the knowledge base in relation to waste policy, there is a risk that a disproportionate amount of time and energy could be devoted to this.

А. като има предвид, че дългогодишният преглед на Кодекса на ЕС за поведение при износ на оръжие завърши на 30 юни 2005 г. на равнище на състоящата се от експерти на държавите-членки работна група COARM, която изготви текст за обща позиция; като има предвид, че кодексът все още не е приет под формата на обща позиция, което възпрепятства постигането на необходимия по-нататъшен напредък в засилването на контрола върху износа на оръжие,
A. whereas the year-long review of the EU Code of Conduct on Arms Exports came to an end on 30 June 2005 at the level of the COARM Working Party of Member States' experts, which produced a text for a Common Position; whereas the Code has still not been adopted as a Common Position, which hinders further necessary progress on strengthening arms export controls,
Б. като има предвид, че с оглед на заплахите, очертани в Европейската стратегия за сигурност, Европейският съюз следва да положи всички усилия да действа и да бъде видян като действащ в качеството на отговорен световен участник в предните редици на усилията за борба с разпространението на оръжие, насърчаване на световното разоръжаване и упражняването на контрол върху трансфера на оръжие,
B. whereas the European Union, in light of the threats outlined in the European Security Strategy, should make every effort to act, and be seen as acting, as a responsible global actor at the forefront of efforts to combat proliferation, foster global disarmament and develop arms transfer controls,
В. като има предвид, че преобразуването на Кодекса на ЕС за поведение в обща позиция би отбелязало по-нататъшна стъпка в развитието на кодекса, която ще доведе до необходимост държавите-членки да приведат националните си законодателства в съответствие с определените в кодекса норми; като има предвид, обаче, че постигането на тази цел се застрашава от някои държави-членки на ЕС, които безотговорно свързват преобразуването на кодекса в обща позиция със собствените си двустранни интереси от вдигане на ембаргото върху износа на оръжие за Китай,
C. whereas the transformation of the EU Code of Conduct into a Common Position would mark a further step in the development of the Code, requiring Member States to align their national legislation with the standards set out in the Code; whereas, however, this is being jeopardised by some EU Member States irresponsibly linking the transformation of the Code into a Common Position with their bilateral interests in lifting the embargo on exports of arms to China,
Г. като има предвид, че развитието в областта на контрола върху трансфера на оръжие продължава на регионално и международно равнище, както може да се види от международната забрана на антипехотните мини (Конвенция от Отава, 1997 г.) и свързания с това спад в броя на убитите или ранените от антипехотни мини, и като има предвид, че това развитие продължава да изисква пълната подкрепа на ЕС, по-конкретно след резултата от Конференцията на ООН за преглед относно малките оръжия и лекото въоръжение, проведена в Ню Йорк от 26 юни до 7 юли 2006 г., и особено по отношение на напредъка към разработване на международен договор за търговия с оръжие в рамките на ООН,
D. whereas developments in arms transfer controls continue to move forward at the regional and international levels, as can be seen in particular from the international ban on anti-personnel mines (1997 Ottawa Convention) and the associated decline in the number of people killed or injured by anti-personnel mines, and whereas such developments continue to require the full support of the EU, in particular after the outcome of the UN Review Conference on SALW held in New York from 26 June to 7 July 2006, and especially as regards progress towards the development of an International Arms Trade Treaty within the framework of the UN,
Д. като има предвид, че на заседанието си в Люксембург на 3 октомври 2005 г. Съветът по общи въпроси и външни отношения обяви подкрепата си за изготвяне на международен договор за търговия с оръжие,
E. whereas the General Affairs and External Relations Council meeting in Luxembourg on 3 October 2005 announced its support for the establishment of an international Arms Trade Treaty,
