Recital 10
(10) Having regard to the Union’s commitment to the ambition set out in SDG Target 12.3, the setting of food waste reduction targets to be achieved by Member States by 2030 should provide a strong policy impulse to take action and ensure a significant contribution to global targets. However, given the legally binding nature of such targets, they should be proportionate and feasible, and take into account the role of different actors in the food supply chain as well as their capacity (in particular micro and small enterprises). In addition, a distinction must be made between avoidable and unavoidable food losses. The establishment of legally binding targets should thus follow a step- wise approach, starting with a level which is lower than the one set under the SDG, with a view to ensuring a consistent response of Member States and tangible progress towards Target 12.3.

5. Where a Member State can provide data for a reference year prior to 2020, whichFood waste may include components that include parts intended for human consumption and parts not intended for human consumption. Food waste from food intended for human consumption is referred to as avoidable food waste. Food waste from food not intended for human consumption is referred to as unavoidable food waste. For Member States that can demonstrate that they have carried out different measurements of food waste in relation to avoidable and unavoidable parts of food waste, the use of avoidable food waste as a unit of measurement for monitoring the food waste reduction target should be allowed, provided that the data have been collected using methods comparable to the methodology and minimum quality requirements for the uniform measurement of levels of food waste as set out in the Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2019/1597, an earlier reference year may be used. The Member State shall notifyinform the Commission and the other Member States of its intention to use an earlier reference yearvoidable waste as a unit of measurement within 18 months of the entry into force of this Directive and shall provide the Commission with the data and measurement methods used to collect them. Member States shall assess the amount of food waste composted in households, the amount of food waste fed to domestic animals and the amount of food disposed of as or with waste water, using an appropriate procedure in accordance with the uniform measurement methods laid down in Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2019/1597.
