Since the objective of the proposed measure, namely to
establish a framework for the production of Community
statistics on the generation, recovery and disposal of
waste, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member
States, by reason of
the need to define terms of
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 at
Community level, the Community may adopt measures
in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set
out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the
principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article,
this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in
order to achieve the objective of the proposed measure.

Member States may need a transitional period for the
establishment of their statistics on waste for all or some
of the economic activities A, B and G to Q of NACE

In accordance with the reporting obligation under Directive 94/62/EC, the Commission will draw up a programme
for pilot studies to be carried out on a voluntary basis by Member States in order to assess the relevance of
including packaging waste entries (EWC-Stat Version 2) in the breakdown list set out in point 1. The Commission
will finance up to 100 % of the costs for these pilot studies. On the basis of the conclusions of these pilot studies,
the Commission will adopt the necessary implementation measures in accordance with the procedure referred to in
Article 7(2) of this Regulation.

SECTION 3

Characteristics

1. Characteristics for the waste categories:

For each waste category listed in Section 2(1), the quantity of waste generated will be compiled.

2. Regionale characteristics:

Population or dwellings served by a collection scheme for mixed household and similar waste (NUTS 2 level).

SECTION 4

Reporting unit

1. The reporting unit to be used for all waste categories is 1 000 tonnes of (normal) wet waste. For the waste

categories (cid:145)sludge(cid:146) an additional figure for dry matter should be provided.

2. The reporting unit for regional characteristics should be the percentage of the population or dwellings.

SECTION 5

First reference year and periodicity

1. The first reference year is the second calendar year following the entry into force of this Regulation.

2. Member States shall furnish data for every second year after the first reference year.

The results are to be transmitted within 18 months of the end of the reference year.

SECTION 7

Report on the coverage and quality of statistics

1.

For each item listed in Section 8 (activities and households), Member States will indicate the percentage to which
the compiled statistics represent the universe of waste of the respective item. The minimum requirement for the
coverage will be defined in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 7(2) of this Regulation.

2. Member States will submit a quality report, indicating the degree of precision for the collected data. A description
will be given on the estimations, aggregations or exclusions, and the way these procedures affect the distribution of
waste categories, listed in Section 2(1) by economic activities and households, as referred to in Section 8.

3. The Commission will include the coverage and quality reports in the report provided for in Article 8 of this

Regulation.

3. The Commission will draw up a programme for pilot studies, to be carried out on a voluntary basis by Member
States. The pilot studies will aim to assess the relevance and feasibility of obtaining data on the amounts of waste
conditioned by preparatory operations, as defined in Annexes II.A and II.B of Directive 75/442/EEC. The
finance up to 100 % of the costs for conducting these pilot studies. On the basis of the

Statistical units are local units or kind-of-activity units, as defined in Regulation (EEC) No 696/93, according to
each Member State’s statistical system.

In the quality report, to be produced under Section 7, a description of how the chosen statistical unit affects the
groupings of NACE REV 1 data distribution should be included.
