COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 21 September 2011
establishing a questionnaire to be used for reporting on the implementation of Directive 2000/76/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the incineration of waste
(notified under document C(2011) 6504)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/632/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2000/76/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 December 2000 on the incineration of waste (1), and in particular Article 15 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Under Directive 2000/76/EC, Member States are required to report on the implementation of that Directive every 3 years on the basis of a questionnaire established by the Commission. |
(2) |
Two questionnaires were established by the Commission. The second one, established by Commission Decision 2010/731/EU (2), covered the years 2009, 2010 and 2011. |
(3) |
Since the questionnaire established by Decision 2010/731/EU is to be used for reporting until 31 December 2011, a new questionnaire should be established for the next three-year reporting period, taking into account the experience gained in the implementation of Directive 2000/76/EC and in the use of the previous questionnaires. However, given that Directive 2000/76/EC will be repealed from 7 January 2014 and will be replaced by Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) (3), the new questionnaire should cover only 2 years, namely 2012 and 2013. For the sake of clarity, Decision 2010/731/EU should be replaced. |
(4) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established in accordance with Article 6 of Council Directive 91/692/EEC (4). |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
1. Member States shall use the questionnaire set out in the Annex for reporting on the implementation of Directive 2000/76/EC.
2. The reports to be submitted shall cover the period from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2013.
Article 2
Decision 2010/731/EU is repealed from 1 January 2013.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Done at Brussels, 21 September 2011.

ANNEX
Questionnaire on the implementation of Directive 2000/76/EC on the incineration of waste
General notes:
This third questionnaire under Directive 2000/76/EC covers the years 2012 and 2013. In view of the experience gained in the implementation of the Directive and the information already obtained through the previous questionnaires, this questionnaire focuses on the changes and progress made by Member States in the actual implementation of the Directive. As Directive 2000/76/EC will be repealed from 7 January 2014 and will be replaced by Directive 2010/75/EU on industrial emissions (IED), the reporting period is limited to 2 years instead of 3 years.
In order to ensure continuity and enable direct comparisons to be made to previous responses, this questionnaire does not change the general approach contained in Decision 2010/731/EU. In those cases where questions are similar to those of the previous questionnaire, reference can simply be made to the previous answers where the situation is unchanged. If there have been new developments, these should be described in a new answer.
1. Number of plants and permits
1.1. |
Please give the following information on the number of plants (broken down between incineration and co-incineration plants) that fall within the scope of Directive 2000/76/EC, as well as on their permits and permitted capacities:
