34. Acknowledges the important role of primary steelmaking in the EU in the light of the increasing levels of global steel production and for the production of specific quality levels needed in several European value chains; stresses that producing steel from scrap reduces energy inputs by around 75 % and raw material inputs by 80 %; urges the Commission, therefore, to ensure the efficient operation of the European steel scrap market by improving the functioning of the markets for secondary metal, countering illegal exports of scrap that are wasting valuable raw materials needed by the European economy and by strengthening the capacity ...[+++] of the Member States to carry out inspections on waste shipments under the regulation; encourages the further development of scrap recycling by the maximal collection and use of scrap and improvement of its quality as a way to ensure access to raw materials, reduce energy dependency, decrease emissions and promote a circular economy; supports the Commission’s initiative of inspecting and controlling waste shipments to avoid illegal exports of scrap, often towards countries in which environmental legislation cannot be compared to that of the EU;

This will include applying the waste hierarchy in accordance with the Waste framework Directive and the effective use of market-based instruments and measures to reduce the generation of waste, to promote reuse, to ensure high quality recycling and non-toxic material cycles so that waste can be used as a major, reliable source of raw material for the EU.; and to ensure that there is a high-quality source segregation system in place, energy recovery is limited to non-recyclable, non-biodegradable and non-compostable materials; that landfilling of recyclable, compostable and combustible materials is effectively phased out, except for cer ...[+++]tain hazardous waste where landfilling would represent the safest disposal method and that hazardous waste is significantly reduced and otherwise safely managed. Illegal waste shipments are eradicated (including by the use of more stringent monitoring) and internal market barriers for environmentally-sound recycling activities in the EU are removed.

It will be equally difficult to defend water usage for agriculture production, land use for animal waste, odour from waste, expansion of production facilities near urban centres, and processing waste, unless agricultural waste and by-products, including CO mass or CO product, can be a proven resource.

7. Notes that the objective of stabilising waste production in 2000 at the 1985 level of 300 kg per capita of the population, as laid down in the Fifth Environment Action Programme, is not being attained; urges the Member States to make far greater efforts to prevent and reduce waste generation, in particular that of hazardous waste, and to prioritise prevention or reduction of waste production in their waste management plans;

K. whereas most Member States have not indicated what they have done about waste prevention and recovery since 1997; whereas the average quantity of domestic refuse generated per capita of the population in the European Union has risen from approximately 400 kg to approximately 500 kg since the previous reporting period (1995-1997); whereas the generation of hazardous waste continues to increase in many countries; whereas the continuing increases in waste generation raise serious questions about the implementation of Article 3(1)(a) of Directive 75/442/EEC,

7. Notes that the objective of stabilising waste production in 2000 at the 1985 level of 300 kg per capita of the population laid down in the Commission's Fifth Environment Action Programme is not being attained; urges the Member States to make far greater efforts to prevent and reduce waste generation, in particular that of hazardous waste, and to put prevention or reduction of waste production as the first option in their waste management plans;
