Recital 8
(8) In order to provide operators in markets for secondary raw materials with more certainty as to the waste or non-waste status of substances or objects and promote a level playing field, it is important to establish at the Union level harmonized conditions for substances or objects to be recognised as by-products deriving from a production process and for waste that has undergone a recovery operation to be recognised as having ceased to be waste. Where necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the internal market or a high level of environmental protection across the Union, the Commission should be empowered to adopt delegated acts establishing detailed criteria on the application of such harmonized conditions to certain waste, including for a specific use. The Commission should be empowered to adopt delegated acts establishing minimum harmonised standards on the rules on end-of-waste status, in order to ensure the smooth functioning of the internal market and reduce the risk of distortion of competition in the Union.

Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) Waste prevention is the most efficient way to improve resource efficiency and to reduce the environmental impact of waste. It is important therefore that Member States take appropriate measures to prevent waste generation by all the actors involved and monitor and assess progress in the implementation of such measures. In order to ensure a uniform measurement of the overall progress in the implementation of waste prevention measures, common indicators should be established.

Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) Member States should take measures to promote prevention and reduction of food waste in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 25 September 2015, and in particular its target of halving food waste by 2030. These measures should aim to prevent food waste in primary production, in processing and manufacturing, in retail and other distribution of food, in restauraand reduce food waste at all stages and in all forms of consumption and prevents and food services as well as in householdreduce food losses along the production and supply chains. Having regard to the environmental, social and economic benefits of preventing food wasteand reducing food waste and food losses, Member States should establish specific food waste prevention measures in their waste prevention programmes, in order to contribute to reaching the Union-wide 50% food waste reduction target by 2030 and should measure progress made in food waste reduction and food losses. To facilitate exchange of good practice across the EU both between Member States and between, food business operators, uniform and civil society, harmonised methodologies for such measurement should be established. Reporting on food waste and loss levels should take place on a biennial basis. In order to avoid food waste, Member States should facilitate the recovery and redistribution of healthy and nutritious foodstuffs for human consumption by, for example, establishing agreements that enable all the actors in the food distribution chain to make unsold products available to the food aid organisations for which this is technically possible. The Commission should present guidelines for the recovery and redistribution of healthy and nutritious foodstuffs for human consumption.

Recital 14 a (new)
(14a) The actors involved in the social and solidarity-based economy should, through their activities, including preparation for re-use and re-use itself, help promote the solidarity-based economy. Steps should be taken to ensure the perpetuity of these activities in the European Union.

Recital 15
Recital 15
(15) Through a progressive increase of the existing targets for preparation for re- use and recycling of municipal waste, it should be ensured that economically valuable waste materials are re-used and effectively recycled, provided that they are not harmful to human health and comply with the legislation on products that come into contact with food, if applicable, and that valuable materials found in waste are channelled back into the European economy, thus advancing the Raw Materials Initiative17 and the creation of a circular economy. __________________ 17 COM(2008)699 and COM(2014)297.
