COMMISSION DECISION
of 18 December 2014
amending Decision 2000/532/EC on the list of waste pursuant to Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2014/955/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on waste and repealing certain Directives (1), and in particular Article 7(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
A Union list of hazardous waste (hereafter ‘list of waste’) was established by Council Decision 94/904/EC (2), and that Decision has been replaced by Commission Decision 2000/532/EC (3).
(2)
Directive 2008/98/EC provides that the attribution of the hazardous properties H 4, H 5, H 6, H 7, H 8, H 10, H 11 and H 14 is to be made on the basis of the criteria laid down by Annex VI to Council Directive 67/548/EEC (4).
(3)
Directive 67/548/EEC has been replaced by Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) with effect from 1 June 2015, reflecting technical and scientific progress. By way of derogation, Directive 67/548/EEC may apply to some mixtures until 1 June 2017, in case they were classified, labelled and packaged in accordance with Directive 1999/45/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) and already placed on the market before 1 June 2015.
(4)
Requirements of Decision 2000/532/EC for the classification of wastes as hazardous regarding the hazardous properties H 3 to H 8, H 10 and H 11 need to be adapted to technical and scientific progress and aligned with the new legislation on chemicals, where appropriate. These requirements have been included in Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC.
(5)
The Annex to Decision 2000/532/EC establishing the list of waste needs to be amended to align it with the terminology used in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. It is appropriate to refer to Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 (7) or other internationally recognised test methods and guidelines when the attribution of hazardous properties is conducted by performing a test.
(6)
The properties that render wastes hazardous are precisely defined in Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC. Therefore, the characteristics displayed by waste to be considered as hazardous as regards H3 to H8, H 10 and H 11 that were included in Article 2 of Decision 2000/532/EC have become redundant.
(7)
The requirements of Article 3 of Decision 2000/532/EC are included in Articles 7(2) and (3) of Directive 2008/98/EC. Therefore, they have become redundant.
(8)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee provided for in Article 39 of Directive 2008/98/EC,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 2000/532/EC is amended as follows:
(1)
Articles 2 and 3 are deleted.
(2)
The Annex is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 June 2015.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

Whereas:
(1)
African swine fever is an infectious viral disease affecting domestic and feral pig populations and can have a severe impact on the profitability of pig farming causing disturbance to trade within the Union and exports to third countries.
(2)
In the event of an outbreak of African swine fever, there is a risk that the disease agent might spread to other pig holdings and to feral pigs. As a result, it may spread from one Member State to another Member State and to third countries through trade in live pigs or their products.
(3)
Council Directive 2002/60/EC (3) lays down minimum measures to be applied within the Union for the control of African swine fever. Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC provides for the establishment of an infected area following the confirmation of one or more cases of African swine fever in feral pigs.
(4)
Lithuania has informed the Commission of the current African swine fever situation on its territory, and in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC, it has established an infected area where the measures referred to in Articles 15 and 16 of that Directive are applied.
(5)
In order to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, it is necessary to establish in collaboration with the Member State concerned a Union list of the infected territories for African swine fever in Lithuania.
(6)
Accordingly, the infected territories in Lithuania should be listed in the Annex to this Decision and the duration of that regionalisation established in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC.
(7)
Commission Implementing Decision 2014/43/EU (4) should be confirmed following consultation of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health.
(8)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Lithuania shall ensure that the infected area established in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC comprise at least the territories listed in the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision shall apply until 30 April 2014.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Lithuania.
