Amendments (19)
Amendment 38 #
Recital 12
(12) The classification of waste as hazardous waste should be based, inter- alia, on the Community legislation on chemicals, in particular concerning the classification of preparations as hazardous, including concentration limit values used for that purpose. Furthermore, it is necessary to maintain the system by which waste and hazardous waste have been classified in accordance with the list of the types of waste as last estHazardous wastes are qualified by hazard and risk criteria. As a result, they must be subject to strict specifications in order to prevent or limit, as far as possible, negative effects due to inappropriate management which may affect the environment, and to prevent risks to human health and safety. Because of their hazardous properties, hazardous wastes need an appropriate management which involves specific and adapted collection and treatment techniques, particular controls and dedicated waste traceabilished by Commission Decision 2000/532/EC , in ordty modalities. All hazardous waste oper ato encourage a harmonised classification of waste and ensure the harmonised determination of hazardous waste within the Community. rs need to have adequate qualifications and training.

Amendment 45 #
Recital 20
(20) There should be no confusion between the various aspects of the waste definition, and appropriate procedures should be applied, where necessary, to by-products that are not waste, on the one hand, or to waste that ceases to be waste, on the other hand. In order to specify certain aspects of the definition of waste, this Directive should clarify: - when substances or objects resulting from a production process not primarily aimed at producing such substances or objects are by-products and not waste. The decision that a substance is not waste can be taken only on the basis of a coordinated approach, to be regularly updated, and where this is consistent with the protection of the environment and human health. If the use of a by-product is allowed under an environmental licence or general environmental rules, this can be used by Member States as a tool to decide that no overall adverse environmental or human health impacts are expected to occur, and - when certain waste ceases to be waste, laying down end-of-waste criteria that provide a high level of environmental protection and an environmental and economic benefit; possible categories of waste for which "end-of-waste" specifications and criteria should be developed are, among others, construction and demolition waste, some ashes and slags, scrap metals, compost, waste paper and glass. For the purposes of reaching end-of-waste status, a recovery operation may be as simple as the checking of waste to verify that it fulfils the end-of-waste criteria.
Amendment 69 #
Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point (c)
(c) uncontaminated soil and other naturally occurring material excavated in the course of construction activities where it is certain that the material will be used for the purposes of construction in its natural state on the site from which it was excavated, on condition that these natural geological materials do not have any characteristics which are likely to result in a notable impact on the receiving environment;
