Article 8 a (new)
Article 8a Re-use and recycling 1. Member States, taking account of Article 7 of this directive and of Directive 2005/32/EC, 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, taking account of Article 7 of this directive and of Directive 2005/32/EC, shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the following targets are attained: (a) by 2020, the preparing for re-use and recycling of household wastes shall be increased to a minimum of 50% by weight; (b) by 2020, the preparing for 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. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006 (OJ L 393, 30.12.2006, p. 1).

The Commission, having regard to the protection of health and the environment, shall, in its interpretation of existing legislation, create as much room as possible for prevention, re-use and recycling, and shall, where appropriate, propose adjustments.
