REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, THE COUNCIL, THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMITTEE AND THE COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS identifying Member States at risk of not meeting the 2030 targets for the reduction of packaging waste and food waste, the preparing for re-use and recycling target for municipal waste, the recycling target for packaging waste and the 2035 municipal waste landfilling reduction targetclosed Open for answers from 28 Sep 2026 to 26 Oct 2026. Answer on the Commission's site. Topics: Environment.
What the Commission proposes
The European Commission is preparing the 2027 early warning report to assess Member States progress towards 2030 targets for municipal waste recycling, packaging waste reduction and recycling, and food waste reduction, alongside the 2035 municipal waste landfilling reduction target. The report identifies countries at risk of missing these targets and provides tailored recommendations and best practices to improve their performance. This initiative fulfils a legal obligation under EU waste directives without introducing new policy objectives or requiring an impact assessment. It focuses on evaluating national policies and implementation measures that directly impact waste prevention, separate collection, sorting, and recycling.
- Assess progress towards 2030 waste reduction and recycling targets and 2035 landfill reduction targets.
- Identify Member States at risk of not meeting the established targets.
- Provide general and country-specific recommendations alongside best practice sharing.
- Fulfill legal reporting obligations under the Waste Framework Directive, Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive, and Landfill Directive.
- Incorporate data and methodology developed by the European Environment Agency and its European Topic Centre.
- Include dedicated country-specific annexes for Member States identified at risk.
Affected, as named in the text: Member States; National stakeholders.
What is asked: Respondents are asked to provide views on the Commission's understanding of the problem and possible solutions, identify implementation challenges present in Member States, suggest measures to improve waste management performance, and provide input on what general and country-specific recommendations should be made.
