(-1d) In order to successfully move towards a circular economy, the full implementation of "Closing the loop - An EU action plan for the Circular Economy" is necessary in addition to the revision and full implementation of the Waste Directives. The Action Plan should also increase the coherence, consistency and synergies between the circular economy and energy, climate, agriculture, industry and research policies.
Amendment 179 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 1
Recital 1
(1) Waste management in the Union should be improved, with a view to protecting, preserving and improving the quality of the environment, protecting human health, ensuring prudent and rational and reduced utilisation of natural resources and promoting a more circular economy, which is key to the EU's long-term competitiveness.
Amendment 192 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 4 a (new)
Recital 4 a (new)
(4a) Increased efforts to move towards a circular economy could generate a 2-4% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions per year, offering a clear incentive to invest in a circular economy. Whereas there is a clear need to increase the consistency, coherence and possible synergies between the EU's circular economy and climate policies. * http://europa.eu/rapid/press- release_MEMO-15-6204_en.htm
Amendment 221 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) In order to provide operators in markets for secondary raw materials with more certainty as to the waste or non-waste status of substances or objects and promote a level playing field, it is important to establish at the Union level harmonized conditions for substances or objects to be recognised as by-products and for waste that has undergone a recovery operation to be recognised as having ceased to be waste. Where necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the internal market or a high level of environmental protection across the Union, the Commission should be empowered to adopt delegated acts establishing detailscience-based criteria on the application of such harmonized conditions to certain waste, including for a specific use.
Amendment 234 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 9
Recital 9
(9) Extended producer responsibility schemes form an essential part of efficient waste management, but their effectiveness and performance differ significantly between Member States. Thus, it is necessary to set minimum operating requirements for extended producer responsibility. Those requirements should reduce costs and boost performance, as well as ensure a level-playing field, including for small and medium sized enterprises, and avoid obstacles to the smooth functioning of the internal market. They should also contribute to the incorporation of end-of-life coststhe real environmental impact into product prices and provide incentives for producers to take better into accountdevelop smart business models which stimulate eco- design and thus enhance recyclability and, reusability when designing their products, repairability and phasing out of hazardous substances where possible. The requirements should apply to both new and existing extended producer responsibility schemes. A transitional period is however necessary for existing extended producer responsibility schemes to adapt their structures and procedures to the new requirements.
Amendment 247 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) Waste prevention is the most efficient way to improve resource efficiency and to reduce the environmental impact of waste. The development of innovative business models is key in this regard. It is important therefore that Member States take appropriate measures to prevent waste generation and monitor and assess progress in the implementation of such measures. In order to ensure a uniform measurement of the overall progress in the implementation of waste prevention measures, common indicators should be established.
Amendment 278 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 14
Recital 14
(14) The targets for preparation for re- use and recycling of municipal waste should be increased in order to deliver substantial environmental, economic and social benefits.
Amendment 297 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 15
Recital 15
(15) Through a progressive increase of the existing targets for preparation for re- cycling of municipal waste and the introduction of quantitative targets at Member State level to encourage reuse and precycling of municipal wasteparation for reuse activities, it should be ensured that economically valuable waste materials are re-used and effectively recycled, and that valuable materials found in waste are channelled back into the European economy, thus advancing the Raw Materials Initiative17 and the creation of a circular economy. __________________ 17 COM(2008)699 and COM(2014)297.
Amendment 303 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) Large differences exist between Member States with respect to their waste management performance, particularly as regards recycling of municipal waste. In order to take account of those differences, those Member States which in 2013 recycled less than 20% of their municipal waste according to Eurostat data should be given additional time to comply with the preparing for re-use and recycling targets established for 2025 and 2030. In light of average annual progression rates observed in Member States oUnderlines that in order to achieve the overall objective to reclaim as many resources as possible within the EU, both the Commission and Member States should increase their efforts substantially in order to decrease the differences in performance and achiever the past fifteen years, thostargets. All instruments are available to enable Member States would need to increase their recycling capacity at levels that are well-above past averages to meet those targets. In order to ensure that steady progress towards the targets is made and that implementation gaps are tackled in due time, Member States that are given additional time should meet interim-targets and establish an implementation planin the short-term. The exchange of best practices, peer review and twinning could play an important role in this regard.
Amendment 307 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 17
Recital 17
(17) In order to ensure the reliability of the data gathered on preparation for re-use it is essential to establish common rules for reporting. Similarly, it is important to lay down more precise rules on how Member States should report what is effectively recycled and can be counted towards the attainment of the recycling targets. To that effect, as a general rule, the reporting on the attainment of the recycling targets must be based on the input to the final recycling process. In order to limit administrative burdens, Member States should bTo ensure a diligent application of the callowed, under strict conditions, to report recycling rates on the basis of the output of sorting facilitiesculation method, the Commission will adopt specific rules on the exact point of "input to the final recycling process" per material stream. Losses in weight of materials or substances due to physical and/or chemical transformation processes inherent to the final recycling process should not be deducted from the weight of the waste reported as recycled.
Amendment 315 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 18
Recital 18
(18) Member States should, for the purposes of calculating whether the preparation for re-use and recycling targets are achieved, be able to take into account products and components that are prepared for re-use by recognised re-use operators and by deposit-refund schemes and the recycling of metals that takes place in conjunction with incineration. In order to ensure a uniform calculation of this data, the Commission will adopt detailed rules on the determination of recognised preparation for re-use operators and deposit-refund schemes, on the quality criteria for recycled metals and on the collection, verification and reporting of data.
Amendment 320 #

(19a) In order to enhance and ensure the achievement of the targets laid down in the Directive, the Commission will structurally stimulate the exchanges of best practices and information between Member States.
Amendment 323 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 20
Recital 20
(20) Compliance with the obligation to set up separate collection systems for paper, metal, plastic and glas, glass, wood and textiles is essential in order to increase preparing for re-use and recycling rates in Member States. In addition bio-waste should be collected separately and be recycled to contribute to an increase in preparing for re-use and recycling rates and the prevention of contamination of dry recyclable materials.
Amendment 328 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 21
Recital 21
(21) Proper management of hazardous waste still presents a problem in the Union, and data on its treatment are partly missing. It is therefore necessary to introduce the mandatory separate collection of hazardous waste from households and to strengthen record keeping and traceability mechanisms through the establishment of electronic registries for hazardous waste in the Member States. Electronic data collection should be extended to other types of waste, where appropriate, in order to simplify record-keeping for businesses and administrations and improve the monitoring of waste flows in the Union.
Amendment 339 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 22
Recital 22
(22) This Directive sets long-term objectives for the Union’s waste management and gives economic operators and Member States a clear direction for the investments needed to attain the objectives of this Directive. In developing their national waste management strategies and planning investments in waste management infrastructure, Member States should make a sound use of the European Structural and Investment Funds by promoting prevention, re-use and recycling, in line with the waste hierarchy. and therefore European Structural and Investment Funds should no longer be used for incineration or landfilling.
Amendment 341 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 23
Recital 23
(23) Certain raw materials are of a high importance to the economy of the Union and their supply is associated with a high risk. In order to ensure security of supply of those raw materials and in line with the Raw Materials Initiative and the objectives and targets of the European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials, Member States should take measures to promote prevention and to achieve the best possible management of waste containing significant amounts of those critical raw materials, taking economic and technological feasibility and environmental benefits into account. The Commission has established a list of critical raw materials for the EU18. This list is subject to regular review by the Commission. __________________ 18 COM(2014) 297.
Amendment 344 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 25
Recital 25
(25) Littering has direct detrimental impacts on the environment and the wellbeing of citizens, and high clean-up costs are an unnecessary economic burden for society. Prevention of littering should be a shared responsibility between the competent authorities and producers. Producers whose products are likely to become litter should promote the sustainable use of their products in order to prevent littering. The introduction of specific measures in waste management plans and proper enforcement by competent authorities should help eradicate this problem.
Amendment 364 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 33
Recital 33
(33) Since the objectives of this Directive, namely to improve waste management in the Union, and thereby contributing to the protection, preservation and improvement of the quality of the environment, the health of the oceans and the safety of seafood by reducing marine litter, and to the prudent, reduced and rational utilisation of natural resources across the Union, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States, but can, by reason of the scale or effects of the measures, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives,
