Common Position adopted by the Council with a view to the adoption of a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste and repealing certain Directives

At the end of its Presidency in the EU, Germany was able, on 28 June 2007, to finalize the deliberations on the first reading of the Waste Framework Directive (WFD) in the Council meeting with a political agreement on the issue. Twenty-seven Member States agreed on common principles of waste management policy in a highly complex and far-reaching legal matter. After additions to the recitals and a legal review of the wording, the Council adopted the Common Position on 20 December 2007.
