WRITTEN QUESTION P-1642/02

by Bernd Lange (PSE) to the Commission

(3 June 2002)

Subject: Recycling of waste oil

I have been dealing with the issue of the regeneration of waste oil in the EU ever since I was elected to the
European Parliament in 1994, when I drew the attention of the Commissioner at the time, Mrs Bjerregard,
to the fact that Directive 75/439/EEC (1) was not being properly transposed in the Member States.

I am still receiving complaints that the principle enshrined in the Directive stipulating that priority will be
is being ignored in almost all the Member States, despite formal
given to the recycling of waste oil
notifications on the part of the Commission.

What will the Commission do to tackle this problem?

(1) OJ L 194, 25.7.1975, p. 23.

Joint answer
to Written Questions P-1627/02 and P-1642/02
given by Mrs Wallström on behalf of the Commission

(28 June 2002)

The Commission shares the concern of the Honourable Members on the implementation of Council
Directive 75/439/EEC of 16 June 1975, on the disposal of waste oils, as amended by Council Directives
87/101/EEC of 22 December 1986, and 91/692/EEC of 23 December 1991 standardizing and rationaliz-
ing reports on the implementation of certain Directives relating to the environment, as on the disposal of
waste oils and in particular the practical implementation of Article 3 thereof.

Indeed, Article 3(1) of the Directive requires that ‘where technical, economic and organisational constraints
so allow, Member States shall take the measures necessary to give priority to the processing of waste oils
by regeneration.’

On the basis of the information in its possession, the Commission has launched in 2000 and 2001,
infringement actions against 13 Member States (all except Italy and Luxembourg) for failure to implement
the priority that must be given to the regeneration of waste oils where technical, organisational and
economical constraints so allow.
