<p class="p1"><span class="s1">German EU candidate Manfred Weber said this week he would propose a global ban on single-use plastics. </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">“We have just banned single-use plastics in the EU, but that is not enough,” he said, referring to Parliament&#8217;s March vote to ban single-use plastics in all member states. </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">“If we don’t globally act quickly and decisively against the polluting of seas through plastic, the next generation will have immense problems&#8230;I will propose a global treaty to ban single-use plastics.”</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Weber currently leads the European People’s Party in the EU Parliament and is affiliated with the Christian Democratic CDU party and the Bavarian party CSU; he is</span><span class="s1"> hoping to succeed outgoing president Jean-Claude Juncker as head of the European Commission. </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">Weber’s extreme proposal is part of a 12-point plan he is expected to unveil Tuesday during a speech in Athens. </span><strong><span class="s1">Other unrealistic goals include:</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span class="s2">Ending child labor worldwide</span></li>
<li><span class="s2">Creating 5 million jobs for young adults in Europe </span></li>
<li><span class="s2">Convincing banks to offer low-interest mortgages to young families </span></li>
<li><span class="s2">Adding 10,000+ agents to Europe’s Border and Coast Guards</span></li>
<li><span class="s2">Cutting down on bureaucratic red tape by abolishing 1,000 EU laws</span></li>
</ul>
<p>The 2019 European Parliament elections will take place from May 23rd-26th.</p>
