Proposal for a directive
Recital 13 a (new)
(13 a) In order to help achieve the objectives of Directive 2008/98/EC on the Circular Economy, the Commission should promote the coordination and exchange of information and best practices both between Member States and between different sectors of the economy, including the waste industry and the financial sector. That could be achieved through the establishment of communication platforms that would help raise awareness of new industrial solutions and allow for a better overview of available capacities and would contribute to connecting the waste industry and the financial sector and to supporting industrial symbiosis.

Amendment 148 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 25
(25) Littering has direct detrimental impacts on the environment and the wellbeing of citizens, and high clean-up costs are an unnecessary economic burden for society. Littering has to be seen as a societal problem of individual who is handling waste in improper or illegal way. The introduction of specific measures in waste management plans and proper enforcement by competent authorities should help eradicate this problem.

Recital 28
(28) Statistical data 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 statistics should be improved by introducing a single entry point for all waste data, which should be Eurostat, by deleting obsolete reporting requirements, benchmarking national reporting methodologies and introducing a data quality check report. Therefore, w quality check report should be drawn up in accordance with a harmonised format. When reporting on the achievement of the targets set out in waste legislation, Member States shall use the most recent methodology developed by the Commission and the national statistical offices of the Member States.
