Proposal for a directive
Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) Member States should put in place adequate incentives for the application of the waste hierarchy, in particular, by means of financial incentives aimed at achieving the waste prevention and recycling objectives of this Directive, such as landfill and incineration charges, pay as you throw schemes, extended producer responsibility schemes and incentives for local authorities. Member States should additionally ensure that waste to energy is applied to treat residual non-recyclable waste to generate secure and affordable energy from waste in line with the waste hierarchy and the ex-ante conditionality criteria in the European Research and Development Fund and European Regional Funds.

(9) Extended producer responsibility schemes form an essential part of efficient waste management, but their effectiveness and performance differ significantly between Member States. Thus, it is necessary to set minimum operating requirements for extended producer responsibility schemes. Those requirements should reduce costs and boost performance, facilitate better implementation of separate collection and sorting, ensure better quality recycling, help secure access to secondary raw material in a cost-efficient manner, as well as ensure a level-playing field, including for small and medium sized enterprises, and avoid obstacles to the smooth functioning of the internal market. They should also contribute to the incorporation of end-of-life costs into product prices and provide incentives for producers to take better into account recyclability and reusability when designing their productsource efficiency, recyclability, reusability, reparability when designing their products, and encourage the phasing out of hazardous substances of very high concern, where suitable alternatives exist for the intended use, in accordance with the legal obligations set by REACH when designing their products. Their implementation of the minimum requirements for extended producer responsibility should be overseen by independent authorities and should be without any additional financial burden to public bodies and consumers. The requirements should apply to both new and existing extended producer responsibility schemes. A transitional period is however necessary for existing extended producer responsibility schemes to adapt their structures and procedures to the new requirements.

Recital 10
(10) Waste prevention is the most efficient way to improve resource efficiency and to reduce the environmental impact of waste. It is important therefore that Member States take appropriate measures to prevent waste generation and monitor and assess progress in the implementation of such measures and promote durable, recyclable, reusable materials of high quality. An important aspect of waste prevention can be the reduction of hazardous substances in materials where these substances cannot be managed safely in accordance with existing legislation on chemicals. To boost waste prevention, it is important therefore that Member States set up national prevention reduction targets taking appropriate measures to prevent waste generation and littering, including the use of adequate economic instruments and awareness campaigns for citizens. Member States should monitor and assess progress in the implementation of these measures as well as progress in the reduction of waste generation and aim at decoupling it from economic growth. In order to ensure a uniform measurement of the overall progress made in the implementation of waste prevention measures, common indicators should be established within 18 months from the entry into force of this directive.
