         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to European Parliament and Council Directive 94/62/EC of 20 December 1994 on packaging and packaging waste (1), and in particular Articles 5(4), 6a(9) and 12(3d) thereof,
         Whereas:
         
                     (1)
                  
                  
                     Directive 94/62/EC, as amended by Directive (EU) 2018/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) lays down general calculation rules for the attainment of the packaging waste recycling targets for 2025 and 2030. It requires Member States to report to the Commission data on the implementation of the recycling targets for each calendar year in accordance with a format established by the Commission.
                  
               
                     (2)
                  
                  
                     Commission Decision 2005/270/EC (3) should be amended to bring its provisions in line with the new rules in Directive 94/62/EC as regards the calculation of the attainment of the targets, laid down in Article 5(2) regarding the possibility to take account of reusable sales packaging, in Article 5(3) regarding wooden packaging repaired for reuse and in Article 6a, as well as the changes to Article 12 on reporting.
                  
               
                     (3)
                  
                  
                     The calculation rules for the attainment of the packaging and packaging waste targets for 2025 and 2030 established in Article 6a(1) and (2) of Directive 94/62/EC clarify that only waste that enters a recycling operation or waste that has achieved end of waste status should be used for the calculation of the recycling target and, as a general rule, the measurement of waste should be at the input to the recycling operation. In order to ensure uniform application of the calculation rules and comparability of data, the calculation points for the main packaging materials and recycling operations should be specified.
                  
               
                     (4)
                  
                  
                     With a view to ensuring harmonised reporting on metals separated after incineration of packaging waste and high quality recycling, it is necessary to establish a common methodology for the calculation of the amount of those metals. The methodology should take account only of the metal content of the materials that are separated from incineration bottom ash in order to be recycled into metals, and should ensure that only metals originating from the incineration of packaging waste are taken into account.
                  
               
                     (5)
                  
                  
                     According to Article 6a(3) and (8) of Directive 94/62/EC the data calculated and reported must be underpinned by an effective system of quality control and traceability of packaging waste material streams. To that end, Member States should take measures to ensure high reliability and accuracy of the data gathered on generated and recycled packaging waste, in particular by collecting data directly from economic operators and by using electronic registries as referred to in Article 35(4) of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) and technical specifications applied to sorted waste.
                  
               
                     (6)
                  
                  
                     The formats to be used by the Member States for reporting data in accordance with Article 12(3a) of Directive 94/62/EC should take account of the rules regarding the reporting on the recycling targets for packaging and on reusable packaging laid down in Directive 94/62/EC.
                  
               
                     (7)
                  
                  
                     The formats for reporting on reusable packaging should take into account the information on reusable packaging placed on the market for the first time and on the number of rotations that packaging performs per year, which is essential to determine the share of reusable packaging compared to single use packaging. As reusable sales packaging may be taken into account in the context of the recycling targets, it is also appropriate to distinguish between reusable sales packaging and other reusable packaging.
                  
               
                     (8)
                  
                  
                     The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established pursuant to Article 21 of Directive 94/62/EC,

                                          The amount of recycled packaging waste shall be the amount of waste at the calculation point. The amount of packaging waste entering the recycling operation shall include targeted materials. It may include non-targeted materials only to the extent that their presence is permissible for the specific recycling operation.
                                          The calculation points applicable to certain packaging waste materials and certain recycling operations are specified in Annex II.

                                          Where packaging waste materials enter recovery operations whereby those materials are used principally as a fuel or other means to generate energy, the output of such operations that is subject to material recovery, such as the mineral fraction of incineration bottom ash or clinker resulting from co-incineration, shall not be included in the amount of packaging waste recycled, with the exception of metals separated and recycled after incineration of packaging waste. Metals incorporated in the mineral output of the co-incineration process of packaging waste shall not be reported as recycled.
