Legislative and policy options : final report
Metagegevens publicatie
This study aims to provide a better understanding of the nature and extent of obstacles and regulatory failures affecting the functioning of waste markets in the EU, and thus preventing the realisation of a circular economy. The study analyses such market distortions and recommends a set of possible solutions. The EU Waste Shipment Regulation lays down as a main principle that waste to be subject to recovery activities should move freely within the EU without any unjustified restrictions. The idea is that waste for recycling and recovery must be allowed to move to the facility where it is best treated. However, a number of obstacles and regulatory failures hampers the free movement of waste for recovery. This is a result from policy and legislative actions taken at both EU level and at national/regional/local levels. If the EU's waste markets function efficiently, without unjustified restrictions, waste would be routed to better sorting techniques, optimised processes and more effective treatment, recycling and recovery. This would improve the protection of the environment and public health, create more jobs and increase growth in the EU's waste management and recycling sectors. The public stakeholder consultation (around 250 replies from mainly organisations and trade associations) showed that 92% consider that there are regulatory failures or obstacles currently affecting the functioning of EU waste markets. These obstacles are either linked to EU legislation or policy (87%) or national policy, legislation or administrative decisions (81%). 74% consider legislative changes are needed; 62 % changes in the policy or decision-making by authorities; and 61% that EU guidance on waste legislation or policy is needed.
