As the mandatory collection of these four characteristics would increase considerably the burden on the enterprises concerned and the data providers, the Commission could accept the new provisions proposed by the Council.

However, in addition to the concerns expressed by Mr Fuchs, which we share, we also have some concerns of our own.

As to Amendment 18 on annual data collection for generation of waste instead of data collection every third year, the Commission agrees that annual data would be useful.

This method is intended to accommodate NCBs that already follow such an approach in collecting data at a local level .
