After committing to reduce the number of secondary legislations expected in the field of the environment, the Commission classified the delegated and implementing acts planned under environmental legislation by order of priority.
First, the Commission listed the texts considered to be priorities, which includes the delegated decision regarding rules for the calculation and verification of waste sorting efficiency based on average loss rates for sorted waste (under the Waste package 2018 and planned to be adopted in 2025), and the setting of minimum recycling rates for phosphorus and nitrogen (under the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive and planned to be adopted in 2028). Then the Commission lists the texts that are not deemed to be a priority, including the implementing act on digital labelling for identifying material composition of packaging for sorting (under the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation). However, it remains unclear whether the texts not deemed to be a priority will be discarded.
