European Union | Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Annexes IV and V to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 on persistent organic pollutants (POPs)



Title of documentProposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Annexes IV and V to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 of the European Parliament and of the Council on persistent organic pollutants (COM(2021)656 final) (13 page(s), in English; 6 page(s), in English)

DescriptionThis Proposal for a Regulation amends the annexes that deal with waste in the Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 (the POPs Regulation). These annexes set limits for persistent organic pollutants in waste and determine, together with provisions in Article 7 of the Regulation, how waste that contains POP substances has to be managed in the EU. Generally, wastes meeting or exceeding the Annex IV limit must be treated in such a way that the POP substances are destroyed or irreversibly transformed, subject to exceptions. The proposed amendment proposes to list and introduce limits for 3 POP substances and to lower the existing limits for 5 substances already listed.
