Task Force Objectives(PROPOSAL)
  • To consider the current revision of the Waste
    Framework Directive with regard to the interests
    of EUROPEN members in relation to packaging used

7
EUROPEN RAC 11/5/2006WFD Task Force
  • Current position
  • Waste Hierarchy
  • This is the most urgent issue strong
    possibility of both Council and Parliament
    supporting the rigid 5-step hierarchy. Industry
    associations issuing divergent and competing
    messages
  • EUROPEN Position is being drafted but there is a
    need for immediate co-ordination between all
    branches of industry

8
EUROPEN RAC 11/5/2006WFD Task Force
  • Current position
  • Definitions
  • Current proposal creates confusion rather than
    clarification. We need to
  • Promote the precedence of the PPWD definitions
  • Understand the Commissions position
  • Prevention
  • Article 1 of the Proposal includes the phrase
    prevention or reduction of waste production

EUROPEN RAC 11/5/2006WFD Task Force
  • Current position other issues
  • Comitology
  • Monitor current debate. No active lobbying
    thought to be required
  • Notification Procedure
  • WFD is an Article 175 Directive so the 98/34
    procedure can not apply
  • Alternative ideas are being considered
