Article summary

The Council of the EU has adopted its negotiating position with a view to future trilogue negotiations with the European Parliament on a regulation that would aim to restrict the presence of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in waste. The Council has amended the European Commission’s position in the limit values for dioxins and furans (PCDDs/PCDFs), which are not produced or added to materials intentionally but are present as impurities in certain ashes. Additionally, the Council has amended the start of the application for 1 January 2025, to align with the proposed changes to the Directive 2008/98/EC (the Waste Framework Directive).
