REGULATION (EU) 2024/1157 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 11 April 2024
on shipments of waste, amending Regulations (EU) No 1257/2013 and (EU) 2020/1056 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 192(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) |
It is necessary to lay down rules at Union level to protect the environment and human health against the adverse impacts which can result from the shipment of waste. Those rules should also contribute to facilitating the environmentally sound management of waste, in accordance with the waste hierarchy laid down in Article 4 of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), as well as to the reduction of the overall impacts of resource use and to the improvement of the efficiency of such use, which is crucial for the transition to a circular economy and for reaching climate-neutrality by 2050 at the latest. |
(2) |
Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) has, over the past 15 years, brought about important improvements to protect the environment and human health against the adverse impacts which can result from the shipment of waste. However, the Commission’s evaluation of that Regulation has also revealed a number of challenges and shortcomings, which need to be addressed through new regulatory provisions. |
(3) |
The European Green Deal, set out in the communication of the Commission of 11 December 2019, sets out an ambitious roadmap to transform the Union into a sustainable, resource efficient and climate neutral economy. It calls on the Commission to review the Union rules on shipments of waste established under Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006. The New Circular Economy Action Plan, set out in the communication of the Commission of 11 March 2020, further stresses the need for action to ensure that shipments of waste for re-use and recycling in the Union are facilitated, that the Union does not export its waste challenges to third countries and that illegal shipments of waste are better addressed. In addition to the environmental and social benefits, such action can also result in reducing the Union’s strategic dependencies on raw materials. Keeping more of the waste generated within the Union will, however, require improved recycling and waste management capacity. Both the Council in its conclusions on Making the Recovery Circular and Green of 17 December 2020 and the European Parliament in its resolution on the New Circular Economy Action Plan of 10 February 2021 have also called for a revision of the current Union rules on shipments of waste established under Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006. Article 60(2a) of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 mandated the Commission to carry out a review of that Regulation by 31 December 2020. |
(4) |
Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 has already been amended on several occasions and requires further significant amendments to ensure that the policy objectives of the European Green Deal and the New Circular Economy Action Plan are met. Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 should therefore be repealed and replaced by a new Regulation. |
(5) |
This Regulation is intended to supplement the general waste management legislation of the Union, such as Directive 2008/98/EC.... |
