The EU must reduce its dependency on Russia, says Deirdre Clune. The European Parliament will vote this week on plans to improve the life cycle and recycling of batteries. Devices with batteries currently glued in place, like those in many mobile phones, will in future have to be removable and recyclable. Fine Gael MEP, Deidre Clune, says aside from the environmental benefits, making better use of resources will also cut our demand to buy from countries like Russia.
