Proposal for a Council Regulation (EC) on waste management statistics

(Text with EEA relevance)

(Submitted by the Commission on 27 January 1999)

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community and in particular Article 213 thereof,

Having regard to the draft Regulation submitted by
the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of
Parliament,

the European

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and
Social Committee,

(1) Whereas regular Community statistics on the
production and management of waste from
businesses and private households are required
by
the
implementation of the three principles — waste
prevention, maximisation of recovery and safe
disposal — governing waste management policy;

the Community

for monitoring

(2) Whereas the terms for the description of waste
and waste management need to be defined in
order to ensure the comparability of results in
waste statistics;

(3) Whereas waste management policy has led to the
establishment of a set of principles
to be
followed by waste producing units and waste
management; whereas
the
monitoring of waste at different points of the
waste
stream: of waste production, waste
collection and waste treatment and disposal;

requires

this

(5) Whereas,

in order

to guarantee comparable
results, waste statistics should be produced in
accordance with the determined breakdown in
an appropriate form and within a fixed period of
time from the end of the reference year;

(6) Whereas,

namely

to establish

in accordance with the principles of
subsidiarity and proportionality as set out
in
Article 3b of the Treaty, the objectives of the
proposed measure,
a
framework for the production of Community
statistics on waste management
cannot be
sufficiently achieved by the Member States, by
reason of the need to define terms for description
of waste and waste management so as to ensure
the comparability of the statistics supplied by the
Member States, and can therefore be better
achieved by the Community; whereas
this
Regulation confines
to the minimum
itself
required in order to achieve those objectives and
does not go beyond what is necessary for that
purpose;

(7) Whereas Member States may need a transition
period for the adaptation or establishment of
their statistics on waste;

(8) Whereas the implementation of this Regulation,
and its adaptation to economic and technical
progress, require close collaboration between the
Commission and the Member States within the
Statistical Programme Committee;
