but excluding:
facilities where waste is unloaded in order to permit its preparation for further transport for recovery, treatment or dispsal elsewhere, and
stoarage of waste prior to recovery or treatment for a period less than three years as a general rule, or
storage of waste prior to disposal for a period less than one year;
‘treatment’ means the physical, thermal, chemical or biological processes, including sorting, that change the characteristics of the waste in order to reduce its volume or hazardous nature, facilitate its handling or enhance recovery;
‘leachate’ means any liquid percolating through the deposited waste and emitted from or contained within a landfill;
‘landfill gas’ means all the gases generated from the landfilled waste;
‘eluate’ means the solution obtained by a laboratory leaching test;

where the distance to the nearest urban agglomeration with at least 250 inhabitants per square kilometre is not less than 50 km, or with difficult access by road to those nearest agglomerations, due to harsh meteorological conditions during a significant part of the year.
[F3In outermost regions within the meaning of Article 349 of the Treaty, Member States may decide to apply the following definition:
‘ isolated settlement ’ means a settlement:
with no more than 2 000 inhabitants per settlement and no more than five inhabitants per square kilometre, or with more than 2 000 but less than 5 000 inhabitants per settlement and no more than five inhabitants per square kilometre and whose production of waste does not exceed 3 000 tonnes per year, and
