Amendment 17 #
Proposal for a directive
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 utilisation of natural resources and promoting a more circular economy, reducing resource dependency and increasing resource efficiency.

Amendment 22 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 2
(2) The targets laid down in Directive 94/62/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council13 for the recovery and recycling of packaging and packaging waste should be amended by increasing the preparing for re-use and recycling of packaging waste in order to better reflect the Union’s ambition to move towards a circular economy. Separate quantitative targets for re-use are needed to ensure access to re-usable products and create job opportunities. __________________ 13 Directive 94/62/EC of European Parliament and Council of 20 December 1994 on packaging and packaging waste (OJ L 365, 31.12.1994, p. 10).

Amendment 23 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 4
(4) Clear environmental, economic and social benefits would be derived from further increasing the targets laid down in Directive 94/62/EC for preparation for re- use and recycling of packaging waste. For these reasons the targets for preparation for re-use and recycling of packaging waste should be increased to at least 70% by 2025 and to at least 80% by 2030.

Amendment 24 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 4 a (new)
(4a) Waste prevention is the most efficient way to improve resource efficiency, to reduce the environmental impact of waste and to promote recycling materials of high quality. For those reasons, Member States should achieve a significant and sustained reduction in the use of single-use packaging and of excess packaging items and phase out non- recyclable packaging when that packaging is not re-usable. Member States should be able to include market restrictions of superfluous packaging, single-serving packaging and excess packaging.

Amendment 36 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 8
(8) This Directive sets long-term objectives for the Union’s waste management and gives the economic operators and the Member States a clear direction for the necessary investments 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 in line with the waste hierarchy by promoting as a priority prevention, and re-use and recycling, followed by recycling. European Structural and Investment Funds shall not be used for financing incinerators or landfills.

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 43 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 11
(11) 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 preparation for re- use operators and deposit-refund schemes, and recycling operators. To ensure harmonised conditions for those calculations, the Commission will adopt detailed rules on the determination of recognised preparation for re-use operators and deposit-refund schemes and on the collection, verification and reporting of data.

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 46 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 12
(12) In order to ensure the reliability of the data gathered on recycling and preparation for re-use it is essential to establish common rules foron data collection, traceability, verification and reporting. Similarly, it is important to lay down more precisely the rules according to which 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 reportinghe calculation onf the attainment of the recycling targets mustshould be based on the input to the final recycling process. In order to limit administrative burdens, Member States should be allowed, under strict conditions, to report recycling rates on thone solid and harmonised method that prevents reporting of discarded waste as recycled waste. To that end, the reporting on the attainment of the recycling targets must be basised ofn the outinput of sorting facilitieto the final recycling process. 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 49 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 14
(14) Statistical dData reported by Member States are essential for the Commission to assess compliance with waste legislation across the Member States. The quality, reliability and comparability of statisticsdata reported should be improved by introducing a common methodology for data collection and processing based on reliable sources as well as a single entry point for all waste data, deleting obsolete reporting requirements, benchmarking national reporting methodologies and introducing a data quality check report.

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 54 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 16
(16) Reliable reporting of statistical data concerning waste management is paramount to efficient implementation and to ensuring comparability of data among Member States. Therefore, when preparing the reports on compliance with the targets set out in Directive 94/62/EC, Member States should be required to use the most recent methodologya common methodology for data collection and processing developed by the Commission andin cooperation with the national statistical offices of the Member States and the national authorities responsible for waste management.
