Council Directive 94/31/EC of 27 June 1994 amending Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 94/31/EC of 27 June 1994 amending Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 130s (1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189 c of the Treaty,
Whereas it has become apparent, through the work of the committee provided for in Article 18 of Council Directive 75/442/EEC (3) that it has not been possible, within the time limits fixed by Directive 91/689/EEC (4), to draw up a binding list of  hazardous waste, but whereas the implementation of Directive 91/689/EEC depends on the Commission's establishing such a list;
Whereas it is necessary to ensure the implementation of Directive 91/689/EEC within the shortest possible time;
Whereas a Community list of hazardous waste must still be established in accordance with Article 1 (4) of Directive 91/689/EEC;
Whereas the repeal of Council Directive 78/319/EEC of 20 March 1978 on toxic and dangerous waste (5) must therefore be postponed,
