(2) At the seventh meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention, held from 4 to 15 May 2015, it was agreed to include pentachlorophenol, its salts and esters (‘pentachlorophenol’) in Annex A to the Convention. At the ninth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention, held from 29 April to 10 May 2019, it was agreed to include dicofol as well as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and PFOA-related compounds in Annex A to the Convention. In view of those amendments to the Convention and to ensure that waste containing those substances is managed in accordance with the provisions of the Convention, it is necessary to also amend Annexes IV and V to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 by including pentachlorophenol, dicofol and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and PFOA-related compounds in the Annexes and indicating their corresponding concentration limits. |

(3) Pentachlorophenol had been previously listed in Annexes IV and V to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council23 by Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/63624 , with an Annex IV value of 100 mg/kg and an Annex V value of 1 000 mg/kg. Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 was repealed by Regulation (EU) 2019/1021, but pentachlorophenol was unintentionally omitted from that Regulation. It is therefore necessary to amend Annexes IV and V to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 to include pentachlorophenol. |

(4) Annexes IV and V to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 already contain concentration limits for the following substances or substance groups: a) the sum of the concentrations of tetrabromodiphenyl ether, pentabromodiphenyl ether, hexabromodiphenyl ether, heptabromodiphenyl ether and decabromodiphenyl ether (with the exception of the latter, which is not listed in Annex V to that Regulation); b) Hexabromocyclododecane; c) Alkanes C10-C13, chloro (short-chain chlorinated paraffins) (SCCPs); and d) Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/PCDF). Pursuant to Article 15(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1021, it is appropriate to amend the concentration limits in Annex IV for those substances to adapt their limit values to scientific and technical progress. To be consistent with the list of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) listed in Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021, the substance decabromodiphenyl ether should be included among the PBDEs listed in the third column of Annex V to that Regulation. |

(5a) Perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), its salts and PFHxS-related compounds have been proposed by the Persistent Organic Pollutants Review Committee (POPRC) for listing under Annex A of the Convention without specific exemptions5a after completing the risk profile and risk management evaluation for those substances. A decision to include PFHxS, its salts and PFHxS-related compounds is envisaged to take place in Stockholm Convention COP-10, which was initially scheduled in July 2021, and is now scheduled to take place in June 2022 as a result of the negative evolution in many European countries of the COVID-19 pandemic. With respect to the objectives of the Convention, it is therefore appropriate, based on the current impact assessment 5b and to ensure that waste containing those substances is managed in accordance with the provisions of the Convention, to already amend Annexes IV and V to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 by including perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), its salts and PFHxS-related compounds in the Annexes and indicating their corresponding concentration limits. The Commission should reflect those amendments to Annex IV and V in other Annexes of the Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 to ensure consistency. |

(6) The proposed concentration limits in Annexes IV and V to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 have been set applying the same methodology that was used to establish the concentration limits in previous amendments of Annexes IV and V to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004. The proposed concentration limits should achieve the objective of a high level of protection of human health and the environment associated to the destruction or irreversible transformation of the substances concerned. Those limits should also take into consideration the broader policy objective of achieving a climate-neutral and circular economy, enshrined in the European Green Deal26 . |

The proposed concentration limits should be underpinned by the precautionary principle as set forth in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) and aim to eliminate, where feasible, the release of POPs into the environment, in order to achieve the objective of a high level of protection of human health and the environment associated to the destruction or irreversible transformation of the substances concerned. Those limits should also take into consideration the broader policy objective of achieving the zero-pollution ambition for a toxic-free environment, increasing recycling, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, developing non-toxic material cycles where banned substances should not be reintroduced on the EU market through recycling activities, and a circular economy, enshrined in the European Green Deal26. |

(6b) To prevent mixing of contaminated waste with other waste or materials and to ensure better traceability and effective treatment of waste containing persistent organic pollutants, there is a need to avoid inconsistency between the provisions regarding waste which contains persistent organic pollutants originally set out in Regulation (EC) No 850/2004, now repealed by Regulation (EU) 2019/1021, and those set out thereafter. The Commission should therefore assess whether it is be appropriate to recognise that waste which contains any persistent organic pollutants exceeding the concentration limits specified in Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 is to be classified as hazardous and put forward, if appropriate, a legislative proposal to amend Directive 2009/98/EC or Decision 2014/955/EU , or both, accordingly; |

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
The European Commission has proposed to review the Annexes IV and V of the Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 (POPs Regulation) to ensure their alignment with the international obligations, particularly the Stockholm Convention whose main goal is “to protect human health and the environment from persistent organic pollutants”, bearing in mind the “precautionary approach” (Article 1 thereof). As POPs belong to the most dangerous chemicals in the world and are linked to irreversible impacts on public health and environment, the Stockholm Convention requires Parties to prohibit and/or take the legal and administrative measures necessary to eliminate both the production and use of chemicals listed in Annex A, and the import and export of those chemicals.
The limits that the rapporteur proposes to the respective Annexes IV (related to waste management of POPs) will not only lead towards better implementation of EU´s international obligations, but also secure better alignment between the POPs Regulation and the EU Green Deal’s goals - specifically the ambition for a toxic free environment and a truly circular economy. Further, his proposals are based on clear positions of the European Parliament, which underlined the necessity of ensuring adequate protection of health and environment from toxic substances repeatedly in the past, as well as the Basel Convention, aiming to protect human health and the environment against the adverse effects resulting from the generation, management, transboundary movements and disposal of hazardous and other wastes.
1. The longterm position of the European Parliament with regard the issue of contamination by toxic chemicals, including POPs:
• In its Resolution of 9 July 2015 on “resource efficiency: moving towards a circular economy” (2014/2208(INI)) which states that “recycling should not justify the perpetuation of the use of hazardous legacy substances”;
• In its position of 13 September 2018 on the “options to address the interface between chemical, product and waste legislation” (P8_TA(2018)0353) which declares that substances of concern are those that meet the criteria set out in Article 57 of REACH as substances of very high concern, substances prohibited under the Stockholm Convention (POPs), specific substances restricted in articles listed in Annex XVII to REACH and specific substances regulated under specific sectoral and/or product legislation;
• In Resolution of 15 January 2020 on the European Green Deal (P9_TA(2020)0005), it underlined “the importance of developing non-toxic material cycles”, called for “stepping up the substitution of substances of very high concern” and on the Commission “to consider measures to address imported products containing substances or components that are banned within the EU”. It also explicitly states that banned substances “should not be reintroduced on the EU market in consumer products through recycling activities”;
• In Resolution of 10 July 2020 on the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability (P9_TA(2020)0201) it expressed importance of “developing non-toxic material cycles” and considered “that articles made from virgin materials and those made from recycled materials should fulfil the same chemical standards” and reaffirmed that in accordance with the waste hierarchy, as defined in the Waste Framework Directive, “prevention takes priority over recycling and that, accordingly, recycling should not justify the perpetuation of the use of hazardous legacy substances”. Furthermore, it reiterated that “the issue of products containing legacy substances of concern should be dealt with by means of an efficient tracking and disposal system”;
• Last but not least, in its resolution of 10 February 2021 on the New Circular Economy Action Plan (2020/2077(INI)) it expressed that for the transition to truly circular economy and sustainable single market, it is important to ensure clean, non-toxic and restorative material cycles and to promote a high quality of material collection flows, reuse and recycling, to maintain materials at their highest value. Finally, it has called for “swift actions to implement the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability Towards a Toxic Free Environment”.
2. Addressing concerns regarding impacts on public health and environment and contamination of Circular economy by POPs
As POPs persist in the environment and bioaccumulate, they pose a threat to the environment and to human health all over the globe. If released, these pollutants are transported across international boundaries far from their sources and even accumulate in regions where they have never been used or produced. Adoption of high limits leads to contamination of recycling by POPs, which re-enter back to the economy instead of being disposed of. The rapporteur is therefore proposing to further strengthen the Commission thresholds in Annex IV and V.. This is done with respect to the limits of what can be implemented realistically in the view of existing data and waste management possibilities.
For the sum of PBDEs, the rapporteur proposes a limit of 200 mg/kg with a further limitation to 100 within 5 years. For the SCPP, he proposes to limit it to the 420 mg/kg as this limit will not result in any disposal and recovery capacity bottlenecks in the EU. For the HBCDD, he proposes 200 mg/kg with a further limitation to 100 in 5 years. Last but not least, for the PCDD/Fs + dl PCBs, he proposes middle value of 0.003 mg TEQ/ kg reflecting potential impacts on households and municipalities.
Furthermore, the rapporteur is including in the Annex IV thresholds for the Perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), its salts and PFHxS-related compounds, as the Commission also acknowledges in its impact assessment to this revision that the European Parliament and the Council will need to include them soon as they are going to be listed in the Stockholm Convention in 2022, following the recommendation of the POPs review Committee in 2019. The rapporteur believes that inclusion of the PFHxS will give the EU clear negotiating mandate before the meeting of the Parties, but also save administrative capacities of the co-legislators. The threshold is set in line with the lowered threshold for PFOA, its salts and PFOA related compounds to reflect the commitment in the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability to reduce the contamination by PFAS.
Last but not least, the rapporteur incorporates commitment to address incoherence between Commission Decision 2014/955/EU of 18 December 2014 amending Decision 2000/532/EC on the list of waste pursuant to Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and the POP Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 as regard concentration limits that qualifies a waste as a POP-waste or those above which a waste is hazardous.
The rapporteur believes that his proposal will help eliminating the risk of exporting hazardous chemicals via Union waste into developing countries, as identified by the African Regional Meeting prior the meetings of the conferences of the Parties to the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions(18-20 March 2019, Nairobi), which strongly supported the adoption of the strictest POPs levels for definitions of low levels of persistent organic pollutant as part of technical guidelines of the Basel Convention.
