A central theme at the Ambrosetti Forum in Italy on Thursday and Friday was the potential for further instability in financial markets, arising from problems in the banking sector — particularly against a backdrop of tightening financial conditions. The move of 2018 was part of a broad rollback of banking rules put in place in the aftermath of the crisis. Although lauding the progress made in Europe, Papaconstantinou emphasized that it is too early to tell whether there is broader weakness in the banking system. It is not an environment where we can sit back and say, 'okay, this was just two blips, and we can continue as usual'.

Problema deşeurilor, însă, trebuie să fie privită prin prisma unor perspective care sunt mult diferite de realitatea noastră. Strategia propune regionalizarea managementului deşeurilor prin divizarea teritorială a ţării în 8 regiuni de management al deşeurilor. În acest fel, ciclul de viaţă al produselor este extins, iar pierderile se transformă din problemă în soluţie, din pierderi în venituri. Şi asta nu pentru că am fi obligaţi să respectăm careva mode, ci pentru că marile probleme de mediu pe care le trăieşte lumea sunt şi problemele noastre.
