(1) The conditions for making fertilisers available on the internal market have been partially harmonised through Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council15 , which almost exclusively covers fertilisers from mined or chemically produced, inorganic materials. There is also a need to make use of recycled or organic materials for fertilising purposes. Harmonised conditions for making fertilisers made from such recycled or organic materials available on the entire internal market should be established in order to provide an important incentive for their further use. Promoting increased use of recycled nutrients would further contribute to the circular economy and allow a more resource efficient overall use of nutrients, while lowering EU dependency on nutrients from third countries. The scope of the harmonisation should therefore be extended in order to include recycled and organic materials. __________________ 15 Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 relating to fertilisers (OJ L 304, 21.11.2003, p. 1).

(8) Contaminants in CE marked fertilising products, such as cadmium, can potentially pose a risk to human and animal health and the environment as they accumulate in the environment and enter the food chain. Several Member States already impose contaminant levels for cadmium due to the risk cadmium poses to human and animal health and the environment. Their content should therefore be limited in such products. Furthermore, impurities in CE marked fertilising products derived from bio-waste, in particular polymers but also metal and glass, should be either prevented or limited to the extent technically feasible by detection of such impurities in separately collected bio-waste before processing.

(10) The end point in the manufacturing chain should be determined for each relevant component material containing animal by-products in accordance with the procedures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009. In order to take advantage of technical developments concerning potential use of animal by-products the relevant component material category should be added or expanded in order to include more animal by-products. The setting of the requirements above and rules on processing and recovery for animal by-products should start immediately after the entry into force of this Regulation. Accordingly, the power to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of expanding or adding, without unnecessary delay, certain animal by- products to the specific component material categories in order to create more opportunities and legal certainty for producers and businesses by unlocking the potential to make better use of nutrients from animal by-products such as animal manure. Where a manufacturing process regulated under this Regulation starts already before that end point has been reached, the process requirements of both Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 and this Regulation should apply cumulatively to CE marked fertilising products, which means application of the stricter requirement in case both Regulations regulate the same parameter.

(13) For certain recovered wastes within the meaning of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council20 , a market demand for their use as fertilising products has been identified. Furthermore, certain requirements are necessary for the waste used as input in the recovery operation and for the treatment processes and techniques, as well as for fertilising products resulting from the recovery operation, in order to ensure that the use of those products does not lead to overall adverse environmental or human health impacts. For CE marked fertilising products, those requirements should be laid down in this Regulation. Therefore, as of the moment of compliance with all the requirements of this Regulation, such products should cease to be regarded as waste within the meaning of Directive 2008/98/EC. In order to take advantage of the technical developments and to further incentivise innovation in the recovery of valuable waste streams the relevant component material categories should be added or expanded in order to include more recovered waste eligible for use in the production of CE marked fertilising products such as struvite, biochar and ash-based products. The proper assessment and setting of processing requirements should start immediately after the entry into force of this Regulation. The Commission should be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. __________________ 20 Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste and repealing certain Directives (OJ L 312, 22.11.2008, p. 3).

(55) Promising technical progress is being made in the field of recycling of waste, such as phosphorus recycling from sewage sludge, andin particular struvite, fertilising product production from animal by-products, such as biochar and phosphorus recovery after incineration, in particular ash-based products, and considering that such products are already authorised in several Member States under national legislation. It should be possible for products containing or consisting of such materials to access the internal market without unnecessary delay when the manufacturing processes have been scientifically analysed and process requirements have been established at Union level. For that purpose, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of defining larger or additional categories of CE marked fertilising products or component materials eligible for use in the production of such products. The first of those delegated acts should, in particular, add struvite, biochar and ash-based products to the categories of component materials and should be adopted as soon as possible after the entry into force of this Regulation. For animal by-products, component material categories should be expanded or added only to the extent an end point in the manufacturing chain has been determined in accordance with the procedures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009, since animal by-products for which no such end point has been determined are in any event excluded from the scope of this Regulation.
