Recital 3
(3) Having regard to the negative effects of food waste, Member States committed themselves to taking measures to promote the prevention and reduction of food waste in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly on 25 September 2015, and in particular its target of halving per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses, by 2030. Those measures aimed to prevent and reduce food waste in primary production, in processing and manufacturing, in retail and other distribution of food, in restaurants and food services as well as in households and progress made in their implementation should be assessed periodically.

Recital 12
(12) Bearing in mind the interdependence between the distribution and consumption stages in the food supply chain, in particular the influence of retail practices on consumer behaviour and the relation between food consumption in- and out-of-home, it is advisable to set up one joint target for these stages of the food supply chain. Setting separate targets for each of these stages would add unnecessary complexity and would limit Member States’ flexibility in focusing on their specific areas of concern. In order to avoid that a joint target results in excessive burden on certain operators, Member States will be advised to consider the principle or proportionality in setting up measures to reach the joint target, with due consideration of small and micro enterprises operating in the food supply chain.

(14) Based on the harmonised methodology set out in Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2019/159776 , the first year for which data on food waste levels were collected was 2020. Therefore, the year 2020 should be used as a baseline for setting food waste reduction targetsHowever, given that 2020 was an exceptional year, in the context of COVID19 pandemic and the associated lockdowns, a 2020-2022 would be a more suitable reference period, taking into account divergences arising from the pandemic. For Member States, which can demonstrate that they performed food waste measurements before 2020, using methods consistent with Delegated Decision (EU) 2019/1597, the use of an earlier baseline should be allowed. _________________ 76 Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2019/1597 of 3 May 2019 supplementing Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards a common methodology and minimum quality requirements for the uniform measurement of levels of food waste (OJ L 248, 27.9.2019, p. 77).
