Amendment 48 #

Recital 20 a (new)
(The common position amends the article on end of waste status. This renders a clarification(20a) The end of waste status must not overall have a harmful impact on the environment or health due to the use of the substance or object. This means at all events that secondary products must not contain significantly higher levels of pollutants than comparable primary raw materials. A quality certification system must be used to apply this criterion. Or. de necessary.)

Amendment 221 #

Article 34 – paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. Within two years at the latest of the Directive coming into force, the European Parliament and the Council shall, on the basis of a Commission report accompanied by a proposal, review the formula for the incineration facilities referred to in Annex II, footnote to R1. The Commission report shall be compiled on the basis of notifications by the Member States of the incineration facilities declared as recovery facilities on their territory using the formula in Annex II in the footnote to R1. The Commission report shall review whether the formula has had the anticipated effect and created a crucial incentive for building and operating more incineration facilities with high energy efficiency. In order for the competent authority to declare the facility a recovery or disposal facility on the basis of the formula in Annex II in the footnote to R1, the operator of the facility shall indicate in particular how much purchased energy is required for the waste treatment and the form and quantity of energy emitted (electric and thermal).

Amendment 239 #

Annex II – point R 1 – footnote 1
* This includes incineration facilities dedicated to the processing of municipal solid waste only where their energy efficiency is equal to or above: 0.60 for installations in operation and permitted in accordance with applicable Community legislation before 1 January 2009, 0.65 for installations permitted after 31 December 2008, using the following formula: Energy efficiency = (Ep -( Ef + Ei)) / (0.97 xO (Ew + Ef)) In which: Ep means annual energy produced as heat or electricity. It is calculated with energy in the form of electricity being multiplied by 2.6 and heat produced for commercial use multiplied by 1.1 (GJ/year). Ef means annual energy input to the system from fuels contributing to the production of steam (GJ/year) Ew means annual energy contained in the treated waste calculated using the lower net calorific value of the waste (GJ/year). Ei means annual energy imported excluding Ew and Ef (GJ/year). 0.97 is a factor accounting for energy losses due to bottom ash and radiation. This formula shall be applied in accordance with the reference document on Best Available Techniques for waste incineration.deleted
