170921_ECN Position and suggestions for amendments on Fertilising Product Regulation_update

The European Compost Network stresses again that harmonised and reliable criteria for compost and digestate, which will be placed as organic fertilisers and soil improvers on the European market should be set. These should be based on the technical proposal on end-of-waste criteria for compost and digestate, worked out by the Joint Research Institute ‘IPTS’ of the European Commission.

For following the discussion in the Council and with regard to the expected inter-institutional negotiations the European Compost Network has therefore published an updated position paper.
