1. Specific aspects of EU and OECD data collection on waste Dr. Brigitte Karigl, Qatar 19 June 2013 1 14

2. Legal basis of waste data collection in the EU 2 Member States have statistical reporting obligations related to waste based on several different regulations/directives: Waste Statistics Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 2150/2002) Waste Shipment Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006) Waste Framework Directive - Recycling/recovery targets (2008/98/EC) Directive on end-of-life vehicles (2000/53/EC) Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (2005/369/EC) Directive on packaging and packaging waste (2005/270/EC) Directive on on batteries and accumulators (2006/66/EC)

3. Environmental Data Center on Waste 3 The central entry point for reporting of data under European Union legislation on waste Provides data, indicators and other relevant information to support the assessment of policy effectiveness Manages data, performs quality assurance, and coordinates data and information managed by other bodies The reference point for answering specific policy questions http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/waste/ introduction http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/waste/ introduction

4. Electronic reporting and data dissemination 4 Transmission of the data to Eurostat via the eDAMIS Portal Secure environment for the transmission of data A web form for each of the waste reporting obligations Checks and validations on the data The Eurostat dissemination database (EUROBASE) Contains the full range of publically available data from Eurostat The data are presented in multi-dimensional tables with multiple selection features and export formats Explanatory texts (metadata) http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/waste/data/database

5. European Waste Statistics Regulation 5 Regulation (EC) No 2150/2002 on waste statistics creates the framework for the production of Community statistics on the generation, recovery and disposal of waste Statistics are to be produced: on the generation of waste according to Annex I on the recovery and disposal of waste according to Annex II using the statistical nomenclature set out in Annex III Reporting every second year in June First time in 2006 on the reference year 2004

6. Statistics on waste generation (Annex I) - Coverage 6 Statistics on waste generation cover: all economic Activities (all NACE-Categories) waste generated by households including waste arising from recovery and/or disposal operations all wastes except wastes excluded from the scope of the Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC)

7. Statistics on waste generation (Annex I) – Reporting structure 7 Breakdown by economic activity and households (based on NACE Rev 2 classification) 19 Categories Breakdown by waste type (EWC-Stat Rev 4, aggregating the waste categories of the European list of waste based on material types) 51 Categories The data is to be presented at the national level (NUTS 0)

9. Statistics on recovery and disposal (Annex II) - Coverage 9 Statistics on recovery and disposal cover: all treatment facilities that need a permit or have to be registered according to the Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EEC) all wastes except wastes excluded from the scope of the Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC) Excluded are: preparatory treatment operations non-economic waste treatment facilities (e.g. backyard composting). recycling on the site of waste generation (internal recycling) incineration at sea co-incineration plants using specific biomass wastes

10. Statistics on waste treatment (Annex II) – Reporting structure 10 Waste treatment (total quantities entering facilities for final treatment): Breakdown by waste category (EWC-Stat Rev 4, aggregating the waste categories of the European List of Waste) 51 categories Breakdown by treatment categories (aggregating disposal and recovery operations of Annex I and Annex II of the WFD) 5 categories The data is to be presented at the national level (NUTS 0)

14. OECD/Eurostat Data collection on municipal waste 14 Data on municipal waste is annually collected by means of a subset of the OECD/Eurostat Joint Questionnaire on waste Municipal waste indicator is one of the around 100 indicators used to monitor the EU Sustainable Development Strategy Municipal waste generation is one of the key environmental indicators of OECD The OECD definition of municipal waste and the definitions of treatment operations are harmonized with the UN definitions

15. OECD/Eurostat Data collection on municipal waste – Data to be reported 15 Municipal waste generated Waste from households Other municipal waste Amounts designated for recovery operations Recycling Composting Incineration with energy recovery Other recovery Amounts designated for disposal operations Incineration without energy recovery Landfill Other disposal
