Amendment 46 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 17 a (new)
(17a) It can be challenging to adopt and monitor waste reception and handling plans for small ports, such as mooring areas and marinas, which receive low traffic, mostly recreational crafts, or are only in use during part of the year. The waste from those small ports is normally handled by the municipal waste management system according to the principles of Directive 2008/98/EC revised by Directive (EU) 2018/851. In order not to overburden the local authorities and facilitate the waste management in such small ports, it should be sufficient that the waste from local mooring areas and marinas is included in the municipal waste stream and managed accordingly, and that the port makes information regarding waste reception available to the users of the port.
