Whereas the safe disposal of non-recyclable and non-reusable waste is one of the objectives of the Council Resolution of 7 May 1990 on waste policy (6), as confirmed by the Fifth Action Programme on the Environment and Sustainable Development, the approach and general strategy of which were approved by the Council and the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, in their Resolution of 1 February 1993 (7);

Having regard to Council Directive 1999/31/EC of 26 April 1999 on the landfill of waste(1), in particular Article 15,

This Annex lays down the uniform waste classification and acceptance procedure according to Annex II to Directive 1999/31/EC on the landfill of waste (the "Landfill Directive").

Whereas discharge, dumping, storage, tipping and injecting of waste must be accompanied both by monitoring of the waste and monitoring and surveillance of the environment concerned;

Sampling must be carried out in at least three locations before the filling operations in order to establish reference values for future sampling.

The cost recovery systems for using port reception facilities shall provide no incentive for ships to discharge their waste into the sea.

the collection, sorting, transport and treatment of waste as well as its storage and tipping above ground or underground and its injection into the ground;

In the interest of protecting the environment, the fee system should encourage the delivery of ship-generated waste to ports instead of discharge into the sea.

Whereas the measures taken to reduce the landfill of biodegradable waste should also aim at encouraging the separate collection of biodegradable waste, sorting in general, recovery and recycling;

Member States shall ensure that the costs of port reception facilities for ship-generated waste, including the treatment and disposal of the waste, shall be covered through the collection of a fee from ships.

The absence of a broadly agreed approach to waste management and disposal is one of the main impediments to the continued and future use of nuclear energy.
