THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 94/62/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 1994 on packaging and packaging waste(1), and in particular Article 12(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The formats established in Commission Decision 97/138/EC(2), for the provision of harmonised data within the framework of Directive 94/62/EC, should be revised and simplified in order to take into account the experience with their application.
(2) Those formats should reflect the targets laid down in Directive 94/62/EC, as amended by Directive 2004/12/EC.
(3) In order to guarantee the comparability of data between the Member States, it is appropriate to lay down detailed rules concerning the data to be contained in the formats and to allow Member States to provide further data on a voluntary basis.
(4) In view of the number of amendments that must therefore be made to Decision 97/138/EC, that Decision should be replaced for the sake of clarity.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established pursuant to Article 21 of Directive 94/62/EC,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
This Decision establishes the formats for reporting data pursuant to Article 12 of Directive 94/62/EC, as well as the rules for the calculation, verification and reporting of data pursuant to that Directive, as regards the following:
attaining an adjusted level of the recycling targets referred to in points (f) to (i) of Article 6(1) of Directive 94/62/EC by taking account of reusable packaging pursuant to Article 5(2) of that Directive;
taking account of repair for reuse of wooden packaging pursuant to Article 5(3) of Directive 94/62/EC;
compliance with the targets set in in points (f) to (i) of Article 6(1) of Directive 94/62/EC;
quality check and the measures taken pursuant to Article 6a(3) and (8) of Directive 94/62/EC.]

[F11. For the purposes of this Decision, the following definitions shall apply in addition to the relevant definitions set out in Article 3 of Directive 94/62/EC:
(a) ‘ targeted materials ’ means packaging waste materials that are reprocessed in a given recycling operation into products, materials or substances that are not waste;
(b) ‘ non-targeted materials ’ means, for the purposes of the calculation of the recycling targets set in points (f) to (i) of Article 6(1) of Directive 94/62/EC, waste materials that are not reprocessed in a given recycling operation into products, materials or substances that are not waste;
(c) ‘ preliminary treatment ’ means any treatment operation that packaging waste materials undergo before submission to the recycling operation whereby those materials are reprocessed into products, materials or substances that are not waste. This includes checking, sorting and other preparatory operations to remove non-targeted materials and to ensure high-quality recycling;
(d) ‘ calculation point ’ means the point where packaging waste materials enter the recycling operation whereby waste is reprocessed into products, materials or substances that are not waste, or the point where waste materials cease to be waste as a result of a preparatory operation before being reprocessed;
(e) ‘ measurement point ’ means the point where the mass of waste materials is measured with a view to determining the amount of waste at the calculation point;
(f) ‘ rotation ’ means a trip performed by reusable packaging from the moment it is placed on the market together with the goods it is intended to contain, protect, handle, deliver or present, to the moment it is sent back for reuse in a system to reuse packaging with a view to its repeated placing on the market together with the goods;
(g) ‘ a system to reuse packaging ’ means organisational, technical or financial arrangements which ensure that reusable packaging performs multiple rotations.]
2.[F2Generated packaging waste, as referred to in paragraph 1(b), shall not include any kind of residues from the production of packaging or packaging materials, or from any other production process.]
For the purposes of this Decision, packaging waste generated in a Member State may be deemed to be equal to the amount of packaging placed on the market in the same year within that Member State.

1. For the purposes of attaining an adjusted level of the recycling targets set in points (f) to (i) of Article 6(1) of Directive 94/62/EC by taking into account the average share, in the preceding three years, of reusable sales packaging placed on the market for the first time and reused as part of a system to reuse packaging, as provided for in Article 5(2) of Directive 94/62/EC, the amount of reusable sales packaging which is discarded after its first rotation shall be deducted from the total amount of reusable sales packaging placed on the market for the first time in a given year.
2. The percentage points that may be subtracted from the recycling targets to determine the adjusted level referred to in Article 5(2) of Directive 94/62/EC shall be calculated as a simple average of the percentage points that represent the share of reusable sales packaging in each of the preceding three years. That share shall be calculated by dividing the amount of reusable sales packaging determined in accordance with this Article that is composed of the packaging material to which the recycling target applies, by the amount of all sales packaging composed of that packaging material and placed on the market for the first time in a given year.

1. For the purposes of calculating and verifying compliance with the recycling targets set in points (f) to (i) of Article 6(1) of Directive 94/62/EC, the following shall apply:
(a) The amount of recycled packaging waste shall be the amount of waste at the calculation point. The amount of packaging waste entering the recycling operation shall include targeted materials. It may include non-targeted materials only to the extent that their presence is permissible for the specific recycling operation.
The calculation points applicable to certain packaging waste materials and certain recycling operations are specified in Annex II.
(b) Where the measurement point relates to the output of a facility that sends packaging waste for recycling without further preliminary treatment, or to the input of a facility where packaging waste enters the recycling operation without further preliminary treatment, the amount of sorted packaging waste that is rejected by the recycling facility shall not be included in the amount of recycled packaging waste.
(c) Where a facility carries out preliminary treatment prior to the calculation point in that facility, the waste removed during the preliminary treatment shall not be included in the amount of recycled packaging waste reported by that facility.
(d) Where biodegradable packaging that is subject to aerobic or anaerobic treatment is included in the recycled amounts for the respective packaging material, the amount of biodegradable packaging in biodegradable waste shall be determined by performing regular composition analyses of the biodegradable waste entering those operations. Biodegradable packaging waste that is removed before, during or after the recycling operation shall not be included in the recycled amounts.
(e) Where the humidity rate of packaging waste at the measurement point differs from that of packaging placed on the market, the amount of packaging at the measurement point shall be corrected in order to reflect the natural humidity rate of the packaging waste comparable to the humidity of equivalent packaging placed on the market.
(f) The amount of recycled packaging waste shall exclude non-packaging materials collected together with the packaging waste, such as waste of the same material that does not originate from packaging, and residues from products that the packaging used to contain.
(g) Where packaging waste generated in a given Member State has been mixed with other waste or waste from another country before the measurement point or the calculation point, the proportion of packaging waste originating from a given Member State shall be identified using appropriate methods, such as electronic registries and sampling surveys. Where such waste undergoes further preliminary treatment, the amount of non-targeted materials removed by that treatment shall be deducted taking into account the proportion and, where appropriate, the quality of waste materials coming from packaging waste originating from a given Member State.
(h) Where packaging waste materials enter recovery operations whereby those materials are used principally as a fuel or other means to generate energy, the output of such operations that is subject to material recovery, such as the mineral fraction of incineration bottom ash or clinker resulting from co-incineration, shall not be included in the amount of packaging waste recycled, with the exception of metals separated and recycled after incineration of packaging waste. Metals incorporated in the mineral output of the co-incineration process of packaging waste shall not be reported as recycled.
(i) Where packaging waste materials enter recovery operations whereby those materials are not principally used either as a fuel or other means to generate energy, or for material recovery, but result in output that includes recycled materials, fuels or backfilling materials in significant proportions, the amount of recycled waste shall be determined by a mass balance approach which results in taking account only of waste materials that are subject to recycling.
2. For the purposes of calculating and verifying attainment of the recycling targets set in points (f) to (i) of Article 6(1) of Directive 94/62/EC, composite packaging and other packaging composed of more than one material shall be calculated and reported per material contained in the packaging. Member States may derogate from this requirement where a given material constitutes an insignificant part of the packaging unit, and in no case more than 5 % of the total mass of the packaging unit.

1. For the purposes of calculating and verifying attainment of the targets set in points (f) to (i) of Article 6(1), of Directive 94/62/EC, the amount of recycled metals separated from incineration bottom ash shall be the mass of metals in the metal concentrate that is separated from raw incineration bottom ash originating from packaging waste, and shall not include other materials contained in the metal concentrate such as mineral adhesions or metals that do not originate from packaging waste.
2. The Member States shall apply the methodology laid out in Annex III for calculating the mass of recycled metals separated from incineration bottom ash.
