Description: Rhis study on "Ex-post evaluation of certain waste stream Directives" was carried out for the European Commission by a team led by BIO Intelligence Service and including Institute for European Environmental Policy and Arcadis. The objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency, coherence and relevance of five waste stream Directives: Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (94/62/EC), Batteries Directive (2006/66/EC), End of Life Vehicles Directive (2000/53/EC), PCB/PCT Directive (96/59/EC), and the Sewage sludge Directive (86/278/EEC). An extensive literature review, stakeholder consultation, and stakeholder workshop were conducted to collect the necessary information. This study is a backward looking exercise and assesses the strengths and weaknesses of these Directives, including excessive burdens, overlaps, gaps, inconsistencies and/or obsolete measures that may have appeared over time since their establishment. It is situated in the context of the need to ensure smart regulation of existing and new EC policies and set the EU on a course towards achieving the objectives in the Europe 2020 strategy and the EU's sixth (2002-2012) and seventh (2013-2020) Environmental Action Plans (EAP).
