Proposal for a directive
Recital 5 a (new)

(5a) Across many Member States, there is an expanding negative perception of waste incineration, since it is perceived, on the one hand, as an acknowledgment of an at least partial failure of other methods for waste prevention, reduction, recycling and recovery, and on the other hand, as a source of environmental and health-related risks in itself. Accordingly, the Circular Economy package must include an articulate, explicit strategy for dissuading any further expansion of incineration rates, and for providing feasible alternatives.

Recital 6

(6) Biodegradable municipal waste accounts for a large proportion of municipal waste. Landfilling of untreated biodegradable waste poses significant negative envioronmental effects in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and pollution of surface water, groundwater, soil and air. While Directive 1999/31/EC already sets landfill diversion targets for biodegradable waste it is appropriate to put in place further restrictions on the landfilling of biodegradable waste by prohibiting the landfilling of biodegradable waste that has been separately collected in accordance with Article 22 of Directive 2008/98/EC. The Commission and the Member States should encourage the use of alternative measures for the sustainable treatment of biodegradable waste in line with new technologies and techniques such as worm composting, bio-digestion, etc.

(8) A progressive reduction of landfilling is necessary to prevent detrimental impacts on human health and the environment and to ensure that economically valuable waste materials are gradually and effectively recovered through proper waste management and in line with the waste hierarchy~~. This reduction should~~ as laid down in Directive 2008/98/EC. That progressive reduction of landfilling will bring a major change in waste management in many Member States. With improved statistics on waste collection and treatment, it should be possible to avoid the development of excessive capacity for the treatment of residual waste facilities, such as through energy recovery or low grade mechanical biological treatment of untreated municipal waste, as this could result in undermining the achievement of the Union's long-term preparation for reuse and recycling targets for municipal waste as laid down in Article 11 of Directive 2008/98/EC. Similarly, and to prevent detrimental impacts on human health and the environment, while Member States should take all necessary measures to ensure that only waste that has been subject to treatment is landfilled, compliance with such obligation should not lead to the creation of overcapacities for the treatment of residual municipal waste and will contribute to achieve a high quality of sorted material. In addition, in order to ensure consistency between the targets laid down in Article 11 of Directive 2008/98/EC and the landfill reduction target defined in Article 5 of this Directive and to ensure a coordinated planning of the infrastructures and investments needed to meet those targets, Member States which may obtain additional time for the attainment of the municipal waste recycling targets should also be given additional time to attain the landfill reduction target for 2030 as laid down in this Directive. It is also necessary to ensure that shipments of waste is treated in the most cost-efficient and sustainable way.

(8) A ~~progressive~~n accelerated reduction of landfilling, up to its definitive phase-out for all but hazardous waste appropriately conditioned, is necessary to prevent detrimental impacts on human health and the environment and to ensure that economically valuable waste materials are gradually and effectively recovered through proper waste management and in line with the waste hierarchy. To this end, it is necessary that the drive towards the elimination of landfilling does not have as a consequence an increase in incineration rates. This reduction should avoid the development of excessive capacity for the treatment of residual waste facilities, such as through energy recovery or low grade mechanical biological treatment of untreated municipal waste, as this could result in undermining the achievement of the Union's long-term preparation for reuse and recycling targets for municipal waste as laid down in Article 11 of Directive 2008/98/EC.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 8 a (new)

(8a) Illegal landfills are a relevant environmental and health problem for the present and for the future of the Union, severely degrading the territory where they are located, and undermining the trust of citizens in environmental legislation. Member States should devote a special effort to the definitive solution of this issue, conducting a detailed inventory of illegal landfills, carrying out a careful characterisation of their contents through detailed surveys and sampling, and preparing and implementing cleaning-up plans. This Directive should act in coordination with other tools and initiatives which address the problem of illegal landfills. Waste streams resulting from the clean-up of illegal landfills built- up in the past should not be accounted for the achievement of the quantitative targets established in the present directive, on condition that they are dealt with through transparent procedures to be established by the concerned Member State.

Amendment 35 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 8 a (new)

(8a) The Commission should assess the appropriateness of introducing a target for the total amount of waste, municipal waste or to all kind of waste regardless of its origin, that can be landfilled, calculated per kilogramme per person per year. Such a target would facilitate comparisons between Member States and would allow a better assessment of waste prevention, which is the highest level in the waste hierarchy. It would also therefore contribute to reducing the overall amount of waste generated every year.

(11) 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, deleting obsolete reporting requirements, benchmarking national reporting methodologies and introducing a data quality check report. Reliable reporting of statistical data concerning waste management is paramount to efficient implementation and to ensuring comparability of data among Member States. Therefore, when preparing the reports on compliance with the targets set out in Directive 19991/31/EC, Member States should be required to use the most recent methodology developed by the Commission and the national statistical offices of the Member States. The data should be collected in line with standards and specifications that support open data objectives and should be made available as open data.

The quality, reliability and comparability of statistics should be improved by introducing a single entry point for all waste data, deleting obsolete reporting requirements, benchmarking national reporting methodologies and introducing a data quality check report. The quality check report shall be drawn up in accordance with a harmonised format. Reliable reporting of statistical data concerning waste management is paramount to efficient implementation and to ensuring comparability of data among Member States. Therefore, when preparing the reports on compliance with the targets set out in Directive 19991/31/EC, Member States should be required to use the most recent methodology developed by the Commission and the national statistical offices of the Member States.

(8) A progressive reduction of landfilling is necessary to prevent detrimental impacts on human health and the environment and to ensure that economically valuable waste materials are gradually and effectively recovered through proper waste management and in line with the waste hierarchy. This reduction should avoid the development of excessive capacity for the treatment of residual waste facilities, such as through energy recovery or low grade mechanical biological treatment of untreated municipal waste, as this could result in undermining the achievement of the Union's long-term preparation for reuse and recycling targets for municipal waste as laid down in Article 11 of Directive 2008/98/EC. Similarly, and to prevent detrimental impacts on human health and the environment, while Member States should take all necessary measures to ensure that only waste that has been subject to treatment is landfilled, compliance with such obligation should not lead to the creation of overcapacities for the treatment of residual municipal waste. In the light of the recent investments made in some Member States leading to over capacities of residual waste facilities (energy recovery or low grade mechanical biological treatment), it is essential to give today a clear signal to the waste operators and to the Member States to avoid 'regret' investments incompatible with the long term targets set in the Landfill and Waste framework Directives. For these reasons a limit for incineration of municipal waste in line with the preparation for reuse and recycling targets in Article 11 of Directive 2008/98/EC and Article 5 of Directive 1999/31/EC may be considered in order to apply and put the waste hierarchy into action. In addition, in order to ensure consistency between the targets laid down in Article 11 of Directive 2008/98/EC and the landfill reduction target defined in Article 5 of this Directive and to ensure a coordinated planning of the infrastructures and investments needed to meet those targets, Member States which may obtain additional time for the attainment of the municipal waste recycling targets should also be given additional time to attain the landfill reduction target for 2030 as laid down in this Directive.

Recital 12

(12) In order to supplement or amend Directive 1999/31/EC, in particular with the view to adapting its Annexes to scientific and technical progress, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty should be delegated to the Commission in respect of Article 16. It is particular importance that the Commission carries out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing and drawing-up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and to the Council. Any amendments to the Annexes should only be made in line with the principles laid down in this Directive. To this end, as regards Annex II, the Commission should take into account the general principles and general procedures for testing and acceptance criteria as set out in Annex II. Moreover, specific criteria and test methods and associated limit values should be set for each class of landfill, including if necessary specific types of landfill within each class, including underground storage, and specific data on its maximum capacity. Proposals for the standardisation of control, sampling and analysis methods in relation to the Annexes should be considered for adoption by the Commission where appropriate within two years after the entry into force of this Directive.
