F1ANNEX IIRECOVERY AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE
SECTION 1Coverage
1.
The statistics are to be compiled for all recovery and disposal facilities which run any of the operations referred to in Section 8(2) and which belong to or are part of the economic activities according to the groupings of NACE Rev. 2, mentioned in Annex I, Section 8(1.1).
2.
Facilities whose waste treatment activities are limited to the recycling of waste on the site where the waste was generated, are not covered by this Annex.
SECTION 2Waste categories
The list of waste categories for which the statistics are to be compiled, according to the recovery or disposal operations as referred to in Section 8(2), are the categories mentioned in Annex I, Section 2(1).
SECTION 3Characteristics
Statistics shall be compiled on the following characteristics and breakdowns:
Item | Description | Regional level |
|---|---|---|
1 | The quantities of waste treated for each waste category listed in Section 2 and for each item of the recovery and disposal operations listed in Section 8(2), excluding recycling of waste on the site where the waste was generated. | National |
2 | The number and capacity of facilities for item 4 of Section 8(2), with a breakdown for: a) hazardous waste, b) non-hazardous waste and c) inert waste. | National |
3 | The number of facilities for item 4 of Section 8(2) closed (no more depositing) since the last reference year, with a breakdown for: a) hazardous waste, b) non-hazardous waste and c) inert waste. | National |
4 | The number of facilities for the recovery and disposal operations listed in Section 8(2), excluding item 5. | NUTS 2 |
5 | The capacity of facilities for the recovery and disposal operations listed in Section 8(2), excluding items 3 and 5. | NUTS 2 |
SECTION 4Reporting unit
The reporting unit to be used for all waste categories is 1 tonne of (normal) wet waste except for the waste categories ‘industrial effluent sludges’, ‘common sludges’, ‘sludges and liquid waste from waste treatment’ and ‘dredging spoils’ were the reporting unit is 1 tonne of dry matter.
SECTION 5First reference year and periodicity
1.
The first reference year is the second calendar year following the entry into force of this Regulation.
2.
The first reference year for waste statistics based on this revision is 2010.
3.
Member States shall furnish data for every second year, after the first reference year, for the facilities which are referred to in Section 8(2).
SECTION 6Transmission of results to Eurostat
The results shall be transmitted within 18 months of the end of the reference year.
SECTION 7Report on the coverage and quality of statistics
1.
For the characteristics listed in Section 3, and for each item amongst the types of operations listed in Section 8(2), Member States shall indicate the percentage to which the compiled statistics represent the universe of waste of the respective item. The minimum requirement for the coverage shall be defined by the Commission. Those measures, designed to amend nonessential elements of this Regulation, by supplementing it, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 7(3).
2.
For the characteristics listed in Section 3 Member States shall submit a quality report, indicating the degree of precision of the collected data.
3.
The Commission shall include the coverage and quality reports in the report provided for in Article 8 of this Regulation.
SECTION 8Waste recovery and disposal operations
1.
The results are to be compiled for each item amongst the types of operations listed in Section 8(2), according to the characteristics referred to in Section 3.
