(4) Clear environmental, economic and social benefits would be derived from further increasing the targets laid down in Directive 94/62/EC for preparation for re- use and recycling of packaging waste. For these reasons the targets for preparation for re-use and recycling of packaging waste should be increased to at least 70% by 2025 and to at least 80% by 2030. The targets for preparation for re-use of packaging waste should be increased to at least 10% by 2025 and to at least 15% by 2030.

(11) Member States should, for the purposes of calculating whether the preparation for re-use and recycling targets are achieved, be able to take into account products and components that are prepared for re-use by recognised preparation for re-use operators and deposit-refund schemes. To ensure harmonised conditions for those calculations, the Commission willIn order to ensure a uniform calculation for re-use and recycling targets, the Commission should adopt detailed rules on the determination of recognised preparation for re-use operators and deposit-refund schemerecycling operators and on the collection, verification and reporting of data.

(13) In order to ensure better, timelier and more uniform implementation of this Directivethe reliability of the data gathered on preparation for re- use and recycling it is essential to establish common rules on data collection, traceability, verification and for reporting. Similarly, it is important to lay down more precisely the rules according to which Member States should report what is effectively recycled and canticipate implementation weaknesses, an early warning system should be established to detect shortcomings and allow taking action ahead of the deadlines for meeting the targets. be counted towards the attainment of the recycling targets. To that effect, as a general rule, the reporting on the attainment of the recycling targets must be based on the output of sorting facilities. Losses in weight of materials or substances due to physical and/or chemical transformation processes inherent to the final recycling process should not be deducted from the weight of the waste reported as recycled.

(16) Reliable reporting of statistical data concerning waste management is paramount to efficient implementation and to ensuring comparability of data among Member States. Therefore, when preparing the reports on compliance with the targets set out in Directive 94/62/EC, Member States should be required to use the most recent methodologya common methodology for data collection and processing developed by the Commission and, the national statistical offices of the Member States and national, regional and local authorities responsible for waste management.

(21) Since the objectives of this Directive, namely on the one hand, to prevent any impact from packaging and packaging waste on the environment or to reduce such impact, thus providing a high level of environmental protection, and, on the other hand, to ensure the functioning of the internal market and to avoid obstacles to trade and distortion and restriction of competition within the Uniontaking into account functioning of the internal market , cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States, but can rather, by reason of the scale or effects of the measures, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives,
