Proposal for a regulation – amending act
Article 1 - point 8
Directive 2003/87/EC
Article 10a - paragraph 9
9. At the latest by 30 June 20109 and every 35 years thereafter the Commission shall determine the sectors referred to in paragraph 8. That measure, designed to amend non- essential elements of this Directive by supplementing it, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article [23(3)]. In the determination referred to in the first subEach year, on the basis of new market information, any sector not included in Annex Ia shall be able to request the Commission to consider afresh the case for the sector to be considered as vulnerable to carbon leakage. In the determination of the sectors referred to in paragraph 8 the Commission shall take into account the extent to which it is possible for the sector or sub-sector concerned to pass on the cost of the required allowances inthrough product prices without significant loss of either market share to less carbon efficient installations outside the Community, taking into accountor profitability or of investment opportunities to the same sector or sub- sector in countries outside the EU that do not impose comparable constraints on emissions. Relevant criteria are – inter alia - the following: (a) the extent to which auctioning would lead to a substantial increase in production cost in industries with a high CO2 emission per unit of sales; (b) the extent to which it is possible for individual installations in the sector concerned to reduce emission levels for instance on the basis of the most efficient techniques; (c) the present and projected market structure, relevant geographic and product market, the exposure of the sectors to international competition taking into account inter alia transport and CO2 costs; (d) the effect of climate change and energy policies implemented, or expected to be implemented outside the EU in the sectors concerned. (da) the effect of passing through CO2 costs in electricity prices on the sector or sub-sector concerned. For the purposes of evaluating whether the cost increase resulting from the Community scheme can be passed on, estimates of lost sales resulting from the increased carbon price or the impact on the profitability of the installationsectors concerned may inter alia be used.

2007/0286(COD)

Proposal for a directive
Article 14 – paragraph 2
2.) The BAT reference documents shall in particular describe the best available techniques, the associated emission and consumption levels and associated monitoring, the monitoring of soil and groundwater and remediation of the site and the emerging techniques, giving special consideration to the criteria listed in Annex III. The Commission shall review and update the BAT reference documents as appropriate. and the emerging techniques, giving special consideration to the criteria listed in Annex III. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 4 and Article 68, on completion of the information exchange provided for in paragraph 1 and on the basis of the BAT reference document the Commission may initiate, where appropriate, using the co-decision procedure, measures to limit emissions (e.g. emission limit values, equivalent parameters, technical measures) and monitoring and compliance requirements as minimum requirements for the activity in question and above the BATAEL range. (b) On the basis of the relevant BAT reference documents, the Commission shall adapt Parts 1 and 2 of Annex V, Parts 3, 4 and 5 of Annex VI, Parts 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Annex VII and Parts 1 and 3 of Annex VIII by laying down measures to limit emissions as minimum requirements. (c) In preparing its proposal the Commission shall take account of recommendations from the Scientific Committee on Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and the Environment, Member States, the European Parliament, the European Environment Agency, Community research programmes, international organisations including those representing small and medium-sized enterprises, European environmental organisations and of other relevant information which comes to its attention. (d) If necessary, the Commission shall review and propose the measures to limit emissions. (e) In line with their obligations under Directive 85/337/EEC as amended by 97/11/EC and 2003/35/EC on Environment Impact Assessment, the Competent Authority shall assess the impact of measures to limit emissions and set specific emission limit values for each installation in Annex III accordingly.

Article 3 a (new)
Article 3a 1. The following waste hierarchy shall apply as a general rule in waste prevention and management legislation and policy: (a) prevention and reduction; (b) preparing for re-use; (c) recycling; (d) other recovery, e.g. energy recovery; and (e) disposal. 2. When applying the waste hierarchy referred to in paragraph 1, Member States shall take measures to encourage the options that deliver the best overall environmental outcome. This may require specific waste streams departing from the hierarchy where this is justified by life- cycle thinking on the overall impacts of the generation and management of such waste. Member States shall ensure that this is a full and transparent process, observing national planning rules about the consultation and involvement of citizens and stakeholders. Member States shall take into account the general environmental protection principles of precaution and sustainability, technical feasibility and economic viability, protection of resources as well as the overall environmental, human health, economic and social impacts, in accordance with Articles 1 and 10.

It includes the reprocessing of organic material, but does not include, inter alia, energy recovery and the reprocessing into materials that are to be used as fuels or f, conversion for use as a fuel, processes involving combustion or use as a source of energy, including chemical energy, or backfilling operations;

Article 8 a (new)
Article 8a Re-use and recycling 1. Member States shall take measures to promote the re-use of products, notably through the establishment and support of accredited re-use and repair networks and by establishing, where necessary, the relevant process and product standards. Member States may take other measures to promote re-use, such as the use of economic instruments, procurement criteria, quantitative objectives or prohibitions on the placing on the market of certain products. 2. In order to comply with the objectives of this Directive, and to move towards a European recycling society, with a high level of resource efficiency, Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the following targets are attained: (a) by 2020, the re-use and recycling of household and similar wastes shall be increased to a minimum of 50% by weight; (b) by 2020, the re-use and recycling of construction and demolition waste shall be increased to a minimum of 70% by weight. For those countries with less than 5% recycling in either category or no official figures, according to Eurostat data of 2000-2005, an additional period of 5 years may be granted to reach the targets. By 31 December 2015 at the latest, the European Parliament and the Council shall re-examine the targets referred to in points (a) and (b) and consider setting targets for industrial waste on the basis of a report of the Commission, accompanied by a proposal if appropriate. In its report the Commission shall take into account the trends in waste treatment and the relevant environmental impacts of setting the targets. In order to harmonise the characteristics and presentation of the data produced and to make the data compatible, Member States shall report them under the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 2150/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2002 on waste statistics1. If necessary, the Commission shall, in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 36(2) of this Directive, establish detailed rules for verifying Member States' compliance with the targets set out in this paragraph. 1 OJ L 332, 9.12.2002, p. 1.
