European Parliament Lawmakers Criticize Plans to Withdraw Draft Air, Waste Laws

摘要

A majority of European Parliament lawmakers voted Jan. 15 against a European Commission plan to withdraw draft EU laws on air quality and waste management in order to revise and re-propose them. The lawmakers' votes, however, will have little effect because the European Parliament failed to adopt an overall resolution on the commission's 2015 work program, which includes the proposals to withdraw the draft air and waste legislation.
