The legal basis for data collection is Law 17/2023 approving GEO 92/2021 on the waste regime (transposing Directive 2008/98 on waste), Commission Decision 2014/955/EU amending Decision 2000/532/EC establishing a list of waste under Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, as well as Regulation 2150/2002 regarding waste statistics. The economic units that generate waste, as well as the economic units authorized to carry out activities of collection, transport, temporary storage, valorization and disposal of waste, have the obligation to keep a record of their management and to transmit the centralized data annually to the territorial public authorities for environmental protection. The data are entered online in the Integrated Environmental Information System (SIM) of the National Agency for Environmental Protection, later they are validated and processed according to different reporting requirements. Starting with the year 2010, the data are calculated according to the EUROSTAT Guide on the collection of data related to municipal waste. |
