environmentContinuity, quality and coverage of the serviceNo “cherry picking”Engaging the public towards waste prevention
Revised EU Directive on Public Procurement – Results and implications 80% of activities carried out by the contracting
authorities above which the Directive does not apply In-House: (Art. 11) In-house procurement is allowed,
including inter-municipal cooperation. Criterion of public control over the public company(ies) Exception to the application of the Directive for legally
enforced forms of private participation Clarifies the freedom of local authorities to define
Services of General Economic Interests (SGEI) as well as their financing
New EU Directive on Concessions –Results and implications 80% of activities carried out by the contracting
authorities above which the Directive does not apply Excludes contracts granted on the basis of exclusive
rights from the application of the Concession Directive
Underlines the freedom of public authorities to perform the public service tasks conferred on them by using their own resources, which includes the possibility of cooperation with other public authorities
In-House Procurement(Art. 11) In-house procurement is allowed, including inter-municipal cooperation: In-house can be conducted by the municipality
directly or by a company owned by the municipality Decisions are made easier:
– Direct implementation without calls for tender (no costly, complex technical analyses of bids or time wasted)
– What to collect, how and with what frequency
– How to communicate to citizens
– How to further treat the recyclables and residual waste
In-House Procurement
Results:– Ability to adapt rapidly to new decisions– Effective waste collection system, convenient to
citizens– Direct control– Income from the sale of materials, energy
(biogas/EfW)– In the case of inter-municipal cooperation: shared
investment costs reduce overall cost per citizen
80% RuleThe rule states: 80% of the waste managed by an in-house
operation must belong to that municipality or group of cooperating municipalities
Only 20% of the waste can be commercial or industrial waste for which there is open competition
An exclusive right rule can give the municipality the right to treat all waste fitting the definition of municipal and similar waste, which is generated in their municipality
How to cope with the 80% rule• Re-integration into a municipal entity (one or several municipalities)• Adjust market production so that 80% in-house can be achieved• Divide owned company in two subsidiaries (one for “true” in-house and another one “for the market”)• Use the horizontal cooperation “the Hamburg case)
News from the EU
Scrapping of proposal on CE and WFD A new package to the end of the year DG Growth main driver + DG Environment
What can we expect?
Material base and scarce resources Product control and ecodesign Focus on landfill reduction More room for EfW
Our/MWE wish list
Agree on the ambition but… Clear definitions and calculation Clear measuring point ”R2”-formula for recycling Requirements for EPR
