ANNEX TO THE LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION

Commission statement

Commission statement on the occasion of the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2022/2400 (1) , on inclusion of waste code 17 05 04‘soil and stones other than those mentioned in 17 05 03’ in part 2 of Annex V of Regulation (EU) 2019/1021

The inclusion in part 2 of Annex V of the waste code for ‘soils and stones other than those mentioned in 170503’ should not be understood to favour disposal of soil as waste over remediation in view of preventing waste generation.

Where disposal offers the best environmental waste management option, the exceptional derogation from destructive treatment is subject to the requirements of Article 7(4) of the Regulation (EU) 2019/1021.


(1)  Regulation (EU) 2022/2400 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 November 2022 amending Annexes IV and V to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 on persistent organic pollutants (OJ L 317, 9.12.2022, p. 24).
