2025/0397 (COD)
Proposal for a
REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
amending Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 and Regulation (EU) 2024/1244 as regards
simplification of some requirements and reduction of administrative burden
(Text with EEA relevance)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL
Union legislation should deliver its policy objectives efficiently, effectively and
transparently. ‘The Future of European Competitiveness’ report emphasised that the transition
to a low-carbon, resource-efficient, and circular economy will be essential for securing the
EU's long-term economic prosperity, resilience, and competitiveness.3 With the
Competitiveness Compass for the EU, the Commission presented its strategy for the next five
years for unlocking the full potential of this transition.4 Moreover, the Commission has since
strengthened targets to reduce administrative costs for business (together with public
authorities) and Small and Medium sized Entreprises by 25% and 35% respectively (1).
A solid body of Union environmental law now exists. The Commission takes seriously its
duty to manage these laws effectively and invests heavily in reviewing (2) their application to
ensure that they deliver as intended and that problematic issues are tackled early. Moreover,
the Commission is committed to ‘stress-test’ all EU laws under its current term of office. The
content of this proposal (and others in the ‘omnibus’ package) represents the initial outcome
of the Commission’s ongoing ‘stress-testing’ in the environment area (3) built on extensive
engagement with stakeholders through meetings at political level, roundtables,
implementation dialogues, call for evidence and inputs received from stakeholders, including
civil society, businesses and businesses associations, think tanks and public authorities. The
omnibus package addresses legislation related to the circular economy, the operation of
industrial installations, the management of geospatial data, and environmental permitting.
The above legislation are crucial parts of delivering the Union’s commitment to a fair green,
and digital transition and the shift towards a circular economy in particular. It is important
that this legislation works well, mobilises the Union’s assets like the single market and avoids
imposing unnecessary costs on business, public authorities and citizens.
This specific proposed Regulation aims to make targeted revisions to the following
instruments:
– Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 concerning batteries and waste batteries (4).
– Regulation (EU) 2024/1244 on reporting of environmental data from industrial
installations, establishing an Industrial Emissions Portal and repealing Regulation
(EC) No 166/2006 (5).
This proposal includes limited and targeted amendments to the above Regulations in the area
of environment. Further possible modifications of those Regulations are entirely outside of the
1 COM(2025) 47 final of 11 February 2025, A simpler and faster Europe: Communication on implementation
and simplification. 2 COM(2025) 420 final of 7 July 2025, 2025 Environmental Implementation Review - Environmental
implementation for prosperity and security. 3 Announced by President von der Leyen in her political guidelines 2024-2029 ‘Europe’s Choice’. 4 Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2023 concerning
batteries and waste batteries, amending Directive 2008/98/EC and Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 and
repealing Directive 2006/66/EC; OJ L 191 28.7.2023, p.1. 5 Regulation (EU) 2024/1244 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 April 2024 on reporting of
environmental data from industrial installations, establishing an Industrial Emissions Portal and repealing

EN 1 EN
scope and aims of the present proposal. The need for such modifications may be assessed, as
appropriate, in the context of further stress-testing of EU environmental legislation announced
in the [Chapeau Communication] and in Commission work programme 2026. The
Commission will constructively engage with the co-legislators, in order to ensure that the
legislative process on the present proposal fully preserves its essential object and does not
distort it.
Batteries Regulation
Amending producer definition for distance contracts
For producers not established in the Member State where they sell batteries, Regulation (EU)
2023/1542 currently covers solely producers using distance contracts. It is necessary to ensure
that all operators irrespective of the selling technique used are covered by the definition of
producer in Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. The proposal therefore clarifies that a manufacturer,
importer or distributor or other natural or legal person that sells batteries in a Member State
and is established in another Member State or in a third country, qualifies as a producer,
irrespective of the selling technique used, including by means of distance contracts.
Adding a definition for substances of very high concern
Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 currently requires that batteries should bear a label
indicating the presence of hazardous substances. However, the definition of those substances
for labelling is unclear since the corresponding recital specifies that batteries should be
labelled with the amount of certain hazardous substances present. Therefore, the proposal
adds further precision on the scope of the substances that need to be labelled by referring to
substances of very high concern identified in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006
and Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
Exclusion of battery packs from removability and replaceability requirements
Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 currently requires light means of transport (LMT) batteries to be
removable and replaceable at cell level. This may create unexpected safety concerns when
faulty battery cells are not replaced in the right conditions. Thus, in order to achieve the right
balance between safety and repairability, LMT battery packs should be removable and
replaceable by independent professionals, but at module level instead of cell level.
Simplification of redundant reporting
The Commission is obligated to review and report every four years about the quality of the
information reported annually by the Member States concerning battery waste management.
In addition, the Commission should assess the organisation of data collection, data accuracy
and reliability and may make recommendations for improvement. The requirement for the
Commission to review and publish a report on data from Member States should be deleted to
allow for a more adaptable data review process. The Commission should retain the ability to
assess data as needed and discretionarily determine the appropriateness of the publication of a
report, considering data sensitivity, confidentiality, and alignment with evaluation and review
timelines.
Industrial emissions portal
Operators under the scope of the IEPR are required to report to competent authorities' data on
the use of water, energy and relevant raw materials. Article 6(9) allows Member States to
EN 2 EN
report on behalf of livestock and aquaculture operators in respect of releases to air, water, and
land.
Some Member States and stakeholders have questioned the feasibility of and burden
associated to the requirement for livestock and aquaculture operators to report on the use of
water, energy and relevant raw materials. In response, the Commission proposes exempting
livestock and aquaculture operators from reporting on water, energy and materials use.
Moreover, the Commission suggests allowing Member States to exempt operators of livestock
production and aquaculture installations from reporting on off-site transfers of waste, off-site
transfers of pollutants in wastewater, production volume and number of operating hours,
provided that this information can be gathered by Member States by other means. Should this
condition be met, Member States will be allowed to report more information than releases to
air, water and land on behalf of individual livestock and aquaculture operators.
There would be negligible environmental impact associated with this change which is about
decreasing burden for livestock and aquaculture operators by relying more on MS action for
gathering relevant information and improving the process for reporting.
The cost savings associated with the measure would be for farmers and aquaculture operators,
who would face reduced reporting requirements. Some of the data would be supplied by
Member States who will have this information available through their standard agricultural
analyses.
Consistency with other Union policies
This proposal is part of a package of measures aimed primarily at cutting red tape for
economic operators. It is entirely consistent with the Commission’s policies on better
regulation, and the objectives of the Competitiveness compass to promote greater
competitiveness and economic resilience in the EU. The rationalisation introduced by these
measures will not affect the achievement of the objectives in the concerned policy area nor the
rationale of the legislative acts
2. LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY
• Legal basis
The legal bases of the proposal are Articles 114 and 192(1) TFEU. These reflect the
underlying legal bases of the Regulations that the proposal intends to revise. The legal bases
of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 concerning batteries and waste batteries is Article 114, and
192(1) in respect of Articles 54 to 76 of that Regulation. The legal base of Regulation (EU) 2024/1244 (‘the Industrial Emissions Portal Regulation’) is Article 192(1).
• Subsidiarity (for non-exclusive competence)
The Batteries Regulation was adopted in recognition of the expected demand for batteries in
the coming years, the strategic role of batteries in the global transition towards decarbonised
economies and the need to establish a functioning internal market and to avoid market
distortions. As such the Batteries Regulation set out common rules on the sustainability,
performance, safety, collection, recycling and second life of batteries as well as on
information about batteries for end-users and economic operators. For these reasons, the
revision of the Regulation is similarly justified on subsidiarity grounds.
EN 3 EN
Industrial Emissions Portal Regulation: The Union and the Member States are Parties to the
Aarhus Convention, which recognises that increased public access to environmental
information and the dissemination of such information contribute to a greater awareness of
environmental matters, a free exchange of views, more effective participation by the public in
environmental decision-making and, ultimately, to a better environment. In addition, the
Union is a Party the UNECE Protocol on Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers. There is a
strong argument that action at Union level was necessary to establish a portal for the reporting
of industrial emissions and clearly for any subsequent revision. Moreover, a consistent
approach across all Member States is likely to lead to increased efficiency in reporting
processes, and fairness for all operators wherever they are established in the Union.
• Proportionality
In the case of the circular economy legislation, the proposal would introduce alternative
means to deliver the policy objectives of ensuring that waste products are appropriately
managed at the end of their useful life
The choice to promote national reporting of emissions and resource use by livestock and
aquacultural operators is proportionate in that it intends to exploit processes that already exist
within the legislation thereby keeping changes to a minimum.
• Choice of the instrument
A proposal for Regulation is the appropriate choice of instrument given that the underlying
legislation that the proposal seeks to amend are also Regulations.
3. RESULTS OF EX-POST EVALUATIONS, STAKEHOLDER
CONSULTATIONS AND IMPACT ASSESSMENTS
• Ex-post evaluations/fitness checks of existing legislation
Revisions of the Regulations on batteries and the industrial emissions portal were recently
adopted by the Legislator based on Commission’s proposals that were supported by impact
assessments. An evaluation cannot be carried out at this stage as too little time has passed, and
too little practical experience gained.
• Stakeholder consultations
The Commission engaged in a broad consultation with stakeholders, civil society, public
authorities and businesses, Member States and Members of the European Parliament,
including through its Implementation Dialogues, stakeholder roundtables and many
meetings (3). The staff working document accompanying this proposal provides more
information on the various consultation activities that have been undertaken to support the
preparation of this proposal.
The key consultation activities are summarised below.
The following consultation activities have been carried out to prepare this omnibus proposal:
– An online webinar on environmental reporting (carried out by the consultant)
on 13 February 2025 and an online survey of the participants to the above
webinar who had agreed to be contacted for its purpose.
EN 4 EN
– A call for evidence6 for the environmental omnibus open for feedback from 22
July 2025 to 10 September 2025.
– A high-level roundtable on simplifying environmental laws on 2 October 2025.
The general consultations about simplification of environmental legislation drew a lot of
attention, also from the wider public.
The above-mentioned online workshop held on 13 February 2025 had 500 registrants and
more than 300 active participants7. The follow-up targeted consultation led to more than 500
inputs, many of a specific nature. Several of the proposed simplifications in the omnibus are
reflected in the input received.
The call for evidence on environmental simplification drew most attention. The Commission
published a call for evidence on the environmental simplification package on the Have-Your-
Say website: Simplification of administrative burdens in environmental legislation. The
feedback period was from 22 July 2025 till 10 September 2025. All feedback is published on
the Have-Your-Say website.
There were 190 998 contributions to the call for evidence, of which 189 751 (99.3%) came
from citizens. 1 247 (0.7%) contributions came from organisations other than citizens,
including businesses and business associations, non-governmental organisations
(environmental and other), public authorities and academics. 622 attachments, mainly position
papers, were attached to these submissions, which often included specific suggestions.
From a business perspective, there is support for less burdensome regulation that leaves
business with flexibility to deliver both growth and sustainable production. There is a
perception of administrative obligations that are too prescriptive, and do not provide value
added.
On the side of civil society, there is support for a simplification that makes it easier to protect
the environment and social standards and avoid deregulation, for example by removing
redundancies and avoiding excessively detailed regulations. There is however concern that
efforts to simplify regulations could undermine environmental protections. Citizens urged the
EU to focus on enforcing existing laws rather than creating new simplifications.
It is useful to note that the Commission has conducted consultations and prepared an impact
assessment in support of the targeted revision of the Regulation on the registration, evaluation
and authorisation of chemicals which is expected to contain a substantial simplifying
component. Similarly, the Commission is currently preparing an impact assessment to support
the preparation of the Circular Economy Act in 2026. This assessment will utilise ongoing
consultation activities that will also cover simplification of existing (waste and circular
economy-related) legislation.
• Collection and use of expertise
As indicated above the Commission contracted an external service provider to provide
expertise related to this proposal. In particular, the contractor is screening the known body of
environmental laws to identify reporting and other administrative obligations together with
potential to simplify these obligations. In addition, the contractor has provided assistance in
quantifying the reductions in costs of possible measures to simplify provisions in the omnibus
package. All information provided by the contractor will be published.

EN 5 EN
• Impact assessment
An impact assessment has not been prepared primarily because the proposed amendments are
highly specific with little choice available to remedy the underlying issues. A staff working
document does however accompany this proposal. It justifies the different elements of the
proposal and presents quantitative information about the expected impacts wherever possible.
It also presents the views and inputs of stakeholders which the Commission has received.
The consistency of this proposal with the climate-neutrality objective set out in Article 2(1)
and the Union 2030 and 2040 climate targets has been assessed. The proposal is consistent
with these objectives, as well as ensuring progress on adaptation.
• Regulatory fitness and simplification
Under the regulatory fitness and performance programme (REFIT), the Commission ensures
that its legislation is fit for purpose, targeted to the needs of stakeholders, and minimises
burdens while achieving its objectives. This proposal is therefore part of, and fully coherent
with, the REFIT programme in so far as it attempts to simplify certain administrative
procedures and reduce unnecessary costs for business.
The savings associated with the changes to the Regulations are estimated using the Standard
Cost Methodology and include EUR 70 million for the Industrial Emissions Portal. For the
Batteries Regulation, the benefit comes from clarifying the legal text.
• Fundamental rights
No adverse impacts expected.
4. BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS
Not applicable.
5. OTHER ELEMENTS
• Implementation plans and monitoring, evaluation and reporting arrangements
The envisaged changes are very specific and directly applicable and will not need to be
supported by implementation plans. The impacts will of course be assessed in due course as
the underlying legislation is evaluation according to the usual way as part of the
Commission’s policy on better regulation across the policy cycle.
• Explanatory documents (for directives)
Not relevant for directly applicable Regulations.
• Detailed explanation of the specific provisions of the proposal
Article 1 sets out amendments to Regulation (EU) 2023/1542.
Article 2 sets out amendments to Regulation (EU) 2024/1244.

(3) In its Communication of 11 February 2025 entitled ‘A simpler and faster Europe:
Communication on implementation and simplification’,7 the European Commission
set out a vision for an implementation and simplification agenda that delivers fast and
visible improvements for people and businesses on the ground. That requires more
than an incremental approach and the Union is to take bold action to achieve that goal.
The Commission, the European Parliament, the Council, Member States’ authorities at
all levels and stakeholders need to work together to streamline and simplify Union,
national and regional rules and to implement policies more effectively.
(4) In the context of the Commission’s commitment to reduce reporting burdens and
compliance costs, advance interoperability, and enhance competitiveness, it is
necessary to adapt certain provisions set out in Regulations (EU) 2023/15428 and (EU)
2024/12449 of the European Parliament and of the Council whilst maintaining the
policy objectives10 of the European Green Deal, and the Sustainable Finance Action
Plan11.
(5) With a view to maintaining coherence with the original instruments and in order to
preserve the legislative intent, amendments to Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 are based
on Article 114 of the Treaty and amendments to Chapter VIII of Regulation (EU)
2023/1542 and to Regulation (EU) 2024/1244 are based on Article 192(1) of the
Treaty.
(6) With a view to ensuring that all operators irrespective of the selling technique used are
covered by the definition of a producer in Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, it should be
clarified that a manufacturer, importer or distributor or other natural or legal person
that sells batteries in a Member State, and is established in another Member State or in
a third country, qualifies as a producer not only when selling by means of distance
contracts.
(7) Pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, batteries should bear a label
indicating the presence of hazardous substances. In line with Recital (44) of that
regulation, it is necessary to add further precision on the scope of the substances that
need to be labelled by referring to substances of very high concern identified in
accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 or Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.

faulty battery cells are not replaced in the right conditions. Thus, in order to achieve
the right balance between safety and repairability, it is appropriate to require that LMT
batteries and LMT battery packs be readily removable and replaceable by independent
professionals at module level.
(9) Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 requires the Commission to publish a report on the results
of the review of the information made available by the Member States. In practice,
Article 76(4) has been too prescriptive and meant that analysis of data on
implementation is required at a time which does not align with evaluation cycles, and
only covers part of the information. This requirement should therefore be deleted,
allowing for more flexible data reviewing. Informed decision-making is integral to the
governance processes within the Union. Therefore, the Commission should continue
to review the data reported by the Member States.
(10) With a view to simplifying requirements on operators and companies, and reduce the
administrative burden stemming from reporting pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation
(EU) 2024/1244, while maintaining equivalent standards as regards the protection of
human health and the environment, it is appropriate to allow Member States to exempt
operators of livestock production and aquaculture installations from reporting on off-
site transfers of waste, off-site transfers of pollutants in wastewater, production
volume and number of operating hours, provided that this information can be gathered
by other means, in view of fulfilling the requirements set out in Article 7 of that
Regulation. Furthermore, to minimize the administrative burden on operators of
livestock production and aquaculture installations, they should not be required to
report on the use of water, energy and relevant raw materials.
(11) Regulations (EU) 2023/1542 and (EU) 2024/1244 should therefore be amended
accordingly,
HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

1. FRAMEWORK OF THE PROPOSAL/INITIATIVE
1.1. Title of the proposal/initiative
Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending
Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 and Regulation (EU) 2024/1244 as regards
simplification of some requirements and reduction of administrative burden
1.2. Policy area(s) concerned
Environment
European Green Deal
1.3. Objective(s)
1.3.1. General objective(s)
The general objectives pursued by this legislative proposal are to simplify and clarify
certain elements of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 and (EU) 2024/1244 in order to
clarify producer and manufacturer obligations as regards batteries and alleviate
burden on certain operators under the scope of the IEPR as regards reporting. By
reducing the administrative burden and compliance costs associated with technical
and reporting requirements, this proposal intends to ensure the proportionality of the
framework, while maintaining high standards of environmental protection.
1.3.2. Specific objective(s)
The specific objectives of the proposed amendments to Regulation (EU) 2023/1542
included in this proposal aim to achieve the following results:
Amend the producer definition for distance contracts
Exclude battery packs from removability and replaceability requirements
Simplification of redundant reporting from the Commission
The specific objectives of the proposed amendments to Regulation (EU) 2024/1244
included in this proposal are as follows:
- exempting livestock and aquaculture operators from reporting on water, energy
and materials use.
- allowing Member States to exempt operators of livestock and aquaculture
installations from reporting on off-site transfers of waste, off-site transfers of
pollutants in wastewater, production volume and number of operating hours,
provided that this information can be gathered by Member States by other means.
Should this condition be met, Member States would be allowed to report on these
elements on behalf of individual livestock and aquaculture operators.
1.3.3. Expected result(s) and impact
Specify the effects which the proposal/initiative should have on the beneficiaries/groups targeted.
The proposed amendments to Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 will benefit a wide range
of stakeholders, including producers of batteries. Producers will have clarity that all
operators irrespective of the selling technique used are covered by the definition of
producer in Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. This will create legal certainty as to which
EN 4 EN
producers have extended producer responsibility. The exclusion of battery packs
from removability and replaceability requirements will create legal certainty for
battery manufacturers and address safety concerns when faulty battery cells are not
replaced in the right conditions.
The proposed amendments to Regulation (EU) 2024/1244 are expected to benefit
operators of livestock and aquaculture installations by alleviating their reporting
burden.
1.3.4. Indicators of performance
Specify the indicators for monitoring progress and achievements.
To monitor progress towards achieving the proposal’s specific objectives, the
Commission will explore the possibility of organising exchanges with Member
States in different formats, including by using the existing fora.1.4. The
proposal/initiative relates to:
a new action
a new action following a pilot project / preparatory action19
the extension of an existing action
a merger or redirection of one or more actions towards another/a new action
1.5. Grounds for the proposal/initiative
1.5.1. Requirement(s) to be met in the short or long term including a detailed timeline for
roll-out of the implementation of the initiative
N/A1.5.2. Added value of EU involvement (it may result from different factors,
e.g. coordination gains, legal certainty, greater effectiveness or complementarities).
For the purposes of this section 'added value of EU involvement' is the value
resulting from EU action, that is additional to the value that would have been
otherwise created by Member States alone.
Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 already contains a producer definition. The amendment
will provide legal certainty as to who is covered by the definition. The current
removability and replaceability requirement for light means of transport batteries
under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 applied to the cell level. Battery manufactures will
have legal certainty about the level of removability and replaceability requirements
for light means of transport batteries and a coordinated approach will be taken across
the Union.
The amendments to Regulation (EU) 2024/1244 aim at ensuring coordination gains
and greater complementarity on reporting by clarifying what has to be reported by
livestock and aquaculture operators or by Member States.
1.5.3. Lessons learned from similar experiences in the past

– the European Investment Bank and the European Investment Fund
– bodies referred to in Articles 70 and 71 of the Financial Regulation
– public law bodies
– bodies governed by private law with a public service mission to the extent that
they are provided with adequate financial guarantees
– bodies governed by the private law of a Member State that are entrusted with
the implementation of a public-private partnership and that are provided with
adequate financial guarantees
– bodies or persons entrusted with the implementation of specific actions in the
common foreign and security policy pursuant to Title V of the Treaty on
European Union, and identified in the relevant basic act
– bodies established in a Member State, governed by the private law of a
Member State or Union law and eligible to be entrusted, in accordance with
sector-specific rules, with the implementation of Union funds or budgetary
guarantees, to the extent that such bodies are controlled by public law bodies or
by bodies governed by private law with a public service mission, and are provided
with adequate financial guarantees in the form of joint and several liability by the
controlling bodies or equivalent financial guarantees and which may be, for each
action, limited to the maximum amount of the Union support.

Sisukokkuvõte
Euroopa Komisjon avaldas 10. detsembril 2025 keskkonnaõiguse lihtsustamise paketi (omnibusi), mis sisaldab ettepanekuid tööstusheite, ringmajanduse, keskkonnamõju hindamise ja georuumiliste andmete valdkonna lihtsustamiseks. Muudatused aitavad vähendada ettevõtjate halduskoormust, säilitades samal ajal ELi ambitsioonikad eesmärgid kaitsta keskkonda ja inimeste tervist. Sellega kiirendatakse ja ühtlustatakse kõigi projektide loamenetlusi, eelkõige strateegilistes sektorites, nagu strateegilised digiprojektid, kriitilise tähtsusega toorainete projektid ja taskukohased eluasemed, hõlbustades üleminekut puhtale ja digitaalsele majandusele ELis. Eeskirjade lihtsustamine ja halduskoormuse vähendamine on ülimalt oluline keskkonnaeesmärkide saavutamise ja ELi konkurentsivõime tugevdamise jaoks.
2
Algatus on osa laiemast tegevusest kooskõlas ELi konkurentsivõime kompassiga. See aitab vähendada bürokraatiat ning toetab ELi konkurentsi- ja vastupanuvõimet, edendades samal ajal kestlikku kasvu.
Keskkonnaõiguse lihtsustamise omnibus koosneb teatisest ja kuuest seadusandlikust ettepanekust, mis hõlmavad järgmisi sihipäraseid seadusandlikke muudatusi:
1. Teatis (COM (2025) 980) käsitleb Euroopa Komisjoni keskkonnaõiguse lihtsustamise ja halduskoormuse vähendamise suunda, eesmärgiga tugevdada ELi kestlikku konkurentsivõimet ilma keskkonnaeesmärke nõrgestamata. Teatis annab keskkonnaõiguse lihtsustamise paketile poliitilise raamistiku, mis keskendub tööstusheidete, ringmajanduse, ruumiandmete ja keskkonnamõjude hindamise lihtsustamisele. Samuti kirjeldab see edasisi samme keskkonnaõiguse stressitestimiseks ja tulevasteks algatusteks, sh ringmajanduse ja kemikaalipoliitika valdkonnas.
2. Määruse ettepanek (COM (2025) 981), millega lihtsustatakse kehtivat patareide ja patarei jäätmete määrust (EL) 2023/1542 seoses tootja mõiste täpsustamise, ohtlike ainete määratluse ja kergtranspordivahendite akude eemaldatavuse nõuete muutmisega, ning tööstusheite portaali määrust (EL) 2024/1244, mille puhul tehakse ettepanek vabastada loomakasvatus- ja vesiviljelusettevõtjad kohustusest esitada aruandeid vee-, energia- ja materjalikasutuse kohta. Samuti luuakse liikmesriikidele võimalus vabastada loomakasvatuse ja vesiviljeluse rajatiste käitajad teatud aruandluskohustustest, kui need andmed on võimalik koguda teistmoodi.
3. Määruse ettepanek (COM (2025) 982), millega peatatakse patareide ja akude ning nende jäätmete ja pakendi- ja pakendijäätmete laiendatud tootjavastutuse jaoks volitatud esindaja määramise kohustus EL ettevõtetele kuni 1. jaanuarini 2035. Säilitatakse kehtivad sätted, mis käsitlevad kolmandates riikides asuvate tootjate laiendatud tootjavastutuse jaoks volitatud esindaja määramist.
4. Direktiivi ettepanek (COM (2025) 983), millega peatatakse jäätmete, elektri- ja elektroonikaseadmete jäätmete ühekordselt kasutatavate plastijäätmete laiendatud tootjavastutuse esindajate määramise kohustus EL ettevõtetele kuni 1. jaanuarini 2035. Kolmandate riikide ettevõtetele nähakse aga jätkuvalt vajadust esindaja määramist kohaldada.
5. Keskkonnale avalduvate mõjude hindamise kiirendamise määruse ettepanekus (COM (2025) 984) nähakse veepoliitika raamdirektiivi, strateegilise keskkonnamõju hindamise direktiivi, linnudirektiivi, keskkonnamõju hindamise direktiivi ja elupaigadirektiivi lubade koordineeritud ja/või ühiste menetluste rakendamist. Liikmesriikides tuleb luua (ka piiriüleste projektide korral) üks kontaktpunkt, kes läbi menetluse on vastutav hindamise hõlbustamise ja koordineerimise eest. Lisaks käiakse välja tähtajad projektide eelhindamise ja
3
mõjuhindamise ning avaliku kaasamise osas. Nähakse ka ette järk- järguline keskkonnamõjude hindamise digitaliseerimine.
6. Ettepanek INSPIRE ruumiandmete direktiivi 2007/2/EÜ lihtsustamiseks (COM (2025) 985), millega eemaldatakse andmete ja andmete jagamise tehnilised nõuded ning viiakse need kooskõlla uuema horisontaalse ELi andmeõigusega.
7. Direktiivi ettepanek COM (2025) 986), millega vähendatakse halduskoormust ja muudetakse jäätmedirektiivi (2008/98/EÜ), tööstusheite direktiivi (2010/75/EL ja 2024/1785), keskmise võimsusega põletusseadmete direktiivi (EL) 2015/2193. Algatus sisaldab näiteks ettepanekut tühistada jäätmedirektiivi alusel loodud toodetes sisalduvate väga ohtlike ainete (SCIP) andmebaas. Lisaks soovitakse anda ettevõtetele suurem paindlikkus tööstusheidete direktiivi kohaste keskkonnajuhtimissüsteemide (KKJS) rakendamisel. Näiteks kaotatakse nõue lisada ümberkujundamiskavad. Käitajatele antakse rohkem aega KKJS ettevalmistamiseks ja KKJS-i puhul ei ole enam vaja sõltumatuid auditeid. Pakutakse ka leevendused vesinikupõhiste tööstusprotsesside kasutuselevõtu hõlbustamiseks ning täpsustused CO2 püüdmistehnoloogiate kasutuselevõtu võimaldamiseks. Samuti nähakse ette erand keskmise võimsusega põletusseadmetele, mida kasutatakse üksnes aeg-ajalt varugeneraatoritena hädaolukordades ja elektrikatkestuste ajal.
Kas EL algatus reguleerib karistusi või haldustrahve? Ei
Kas nähakse ette uue asutuse loomine (järelevalvelised või muud asutused)? Jah
Ei ole välistatud, sest keskkonnale avalduvate mõjude hindamise kiirendamise määruse ettepanekus (COM (2025) 984) nähakse ette liikmesriikides kontaktpunkti loomist (ka piiriüleste projektide korral), mille eesmärk on koordineerida erinevate EL keskkonnadirektiivide kohaseid keskkonnamõju hindamisi ühtses loamenetluses, et vähendada dubleerimist ja kiirendada menetlusi.
Kas lahenduse rakendamine vajab IT-arendusi? Jah
Keskkonnale avalduvate mõjude hindamise kiirendamise määruse ettepanekus (COM (2025) 984) nähakse ette keskkonnalubade ja keskkonnamõjude hindamise infosüsteemide arendamist, sh menetluste digitaliseerimist, andmete korduvkasutust ja infosüsteemide koostalitlusvõimet. IT-arenduste eesmärk on sealjuures kiirendada ja ühtlustada loamenetlusi, vähendada dubleerimist ning parandada avalikkuse ja projektide läbipaistvust.
Direktiivi ettepanekus (COM (2025) 986), mis on suunatud jäätmete ja tööstusheite valdkonna lihtsustamisele, nähakse ette toodetes sisalduvate väga ohtlike ainete (SCIP) andmebaasi asendamine uute digitaalsete lahendustega. Uued lahendused nagu digitaalne tootepass ja ainete ühekordse hindamise mudel võivad vajada andmesüsteemide arendamist ning koostalitlusvõime lahendusi.

Eesmärgid
Eesmärk 1: Keskkonnamõju hindamise ühtlustamine loamenetlustes
Projektiarendajate jaoks muutuvad menetlused lihtsamaks ja kiiremaks ning loomisel on ühtsed kontaktpunktid, digiteenused ja kiirmenetluse võimalused. See kiirendab ELi majanduse jaoks vajalikke olulisi projekte. Peale selle sisaldab ettepanek täiendavaid kiirendavaid meetmeid strateegiliste sektorite ja projektide jaoks, mis aitavad kaasa süsinikuheite vähendamisele ja ressursitõhususele ning taskukohaste eluasemete rajamisele.
Eesmärk 2: Tööstusheitenormide lihtsustamine ettevõtetele ja põllumajandustootjatele
Ettevõtjad saavad suurema paindlikkuse keskkonnajuhtimissüsteemide rakendamisel tööstusheidete direktiivi alusel. Näiteks kaotatakse ümberkujundamis- kavade lisamise nõue. Ettevõtjatele antakse rohkem aega keskkonnajuhtimissüsteemide ettevalmistamiseks. Keskkonnajuhtimissüsteemi sõltumatut auditit ei ole enam vaja. Põllumajandustootjad ja vesiviljelusettevõtjad vabastatakse teatavatest aruandluskohustustest, et leevendada nende halduskoormust. Peale selle lihtsustatakse põllumajandustegevuse ulatuse kriteeriume ja vähendatakse dubleerimist mahepõllumajandusettevõtete puhul.
Eesmärk 3: Digilahenduste tõhustamine toodetes sisalduvate probleemsete ainete registreerimiseks
Toodetes sisalduvate probleemsete ainete andmebaasi (SCIP) kulud on olnud ebaproportsionaalselt suured ning selle funktsioonid asendatakse tõhusamate digilahendustega, nagu digitaalne tootepass ja ainete ühekordse hindamise mudel. Seepärast teeb komisjon ettepaneku muuta jäätmete raamdirektiivi, et tunnistada andmebaas senisel kujul kehtetuks.
Eesmärk 4: Laiendatud tootjavastutuse lihtsustamine
Praegu nõutakse patareisid, akusid, pakendeid, elektroonikaseadmeid, ühekordselt kasutatavaid plasttooteid ja jäätmeid käsitlevates õigusaktides, et ELis asuvad ettevõtjad määraksid oma laiendatud tootjavastutusega seotud kohustuste täitmiseks volitatud esindaja. Ettevõtjad peavad looma sellise süsteemi igas liikmesriigis, mis ei ole nende asukohariik, kuid kus nad müüvad oma tooteid. See kohustus peatatakse Euroopa tootjate jaoks, kuni ühtlustatakse ringmajanduse õigusakti kohaseid laiendatud tootjavastutuse süsteeme. See vähendab ELis ettevõtlusega tegelemise kulusid.
Eesmärk 5: Juurdepääsu lihtsustamine georuumilistele andmetele
Praegused INSPIRE direktiivi kohased georuumiliste andmete tehnilised nõuded viiakse täielikult kooskõlla horisontaalsete õigusaktidega, millega reguleeritakse kvaliteetseid avaliku sektori georuumilisi andmeid. Selline lihtsustamine vähendab avaliku sektori
5
asutuste nõuete täitmisega seotud kulusid ja hõlbustab kõigi avaliku ja erasektori kasutajate juurdepääsu väärtuslikele georuumiliste andmete kogumitele.
Mõju ja sihtrühm
Mõju valdkonnad
Sotsiaalala
Tööturg ja -keskkond
Sihtrühm: Ettevõtted, elanikud
Mõju sihtrühmale: Algatus (COM (2025) 986) näeb ette SCIP andmebaasi senisel kujul lõpetamise ja selle funktsioonide asendamise uute tõhusamate digilahendustega (nt digitaalne tootepass, ainete ühekordse hindamise mudel). SCIP andmebaas on olnud abivahend jäätmekäitlejatele ja ringmajandussektori töötajatele, et tuvastada ohtlikke aineid toodete elutsükli lõpus. SCIP andmebaas pakub ka avalikku ja tsentraliseeritud infot toodetes sisalduvate väga ohtlike ainete kohta. Andmebaasi kaotamine võib ajutiselt vähendada tööohutusalase info kättesaadavust, kui alternatiivsed lahendused ei ole veel täielikult rakendunud.
Majandus
Ettevõtlus
Sihtrühm: Ettevõtted
Mõju sihtrühmale: Algatuste rakendamine ei too ettevõtetele kaasa olulisi täiendavaid majanduslikke kulusid, vastupidi, enamik ettepanekuid vähendab haldus- ja aruandluskulusid. Võimalikud kulud on üksikud ja üleminekulised, peamiselt seotud uute digilahendustega kohanemisega.
Halduskoormus
Kas lahendusega kaasneb mõju halduskoormusele? Jah
Kas ettevõtetele halduskoormus: Nii kasvab kui kahaneb
Mõju sihtrühmale: Algatused vähendavad ettevõtete aruandlus- ja halduskohustusi (nt laiendatud tootjavastutuse volitatud esindaja kohustuse peatamine, tööstusheite ja jäätmealase aruandluse lihtsustamine, SCIP andmebaasi kaotamine, loamenetluste kiirendamine ja ühtlustamine). Võimalikud uute digilahendustega kohanemise kulud on ajutised ega muuda üldist suunda, milleks on halduskoormuse vähenemine.
Kas avaliku sektori töökoormus: Nii kasvab kui kahaneb
6
Mõju sihtrühmale: Algatuste rakendamine võib lühiajaliselt suurendada töökoormust (nt menetluste ümberkorraldamine, kontaktpunkti määramine, uute digilahenduste juurutamine). Pikemas perspektiivis vähendab ühtlustatud ja digiteeritud menetlus dubleerimist, parandab andmete korduvkasutust ning lihtsustab haldusprotsesse, mille tulemusel avaliku sektori töökoormus väheneb.
Põllu-, metsa- ja kalamajandus ning toiduainetööstus
Sihtrühm: Põllumajandus-, kalandus- ja metsandusettevõtted
Mõju sihtrühmale: Põllumajandustootjad ja vesiviljelusettevõtjad vabastatakse teatavatest aruandluskohustustest, et leevendada nende halduskoormust. Peale selle lihtsustatakse põllumajandustegevuse ulatuse kriteeriume ja vähendatakse dubleerimist mahepõllumajandusettevõtete puhul.
Keskkond
Jäätmed ja ringmajandus
Sihtrühm: Ettevõtted
Mõju sihtrühmale: Algatustel on jäätmete ja ringmajandusega tegelevatele ettevõtetele valdavalt positiivne mõju, kuna vähenevad aruandlus- ja halduskohustused ning kiirenevad loamenetlused: kaotatakse SCIP andmebaasi kasutamise kohustus, ühtlustatakse ja lihtsustatakse laiendatud tootjavastutuse aruandlust, peatatakse ELi ettevõtetele volitatud esindaja määramise kohustus, lihtsustatakse tööstusheidete direktiivi kohaseid nõudeid ning ringmajanduse ja jäätmekäitluse projektide loamenetlused muutuvad kiiremaks ja paremini koordineerituks.
Riigivalitsemine
Riigieelarve
Kas lahendusega kaasneb mõju riigieelarve kuludele? Jah
Selgitus: Algatustega võib kaasneda lühiajaline ja piiratud mõju riigieelarve kuludele (peamiselt seoses menetluste ümberkorraldamise ja IT-süsteemide kohandustega), kuid pikemas perspektiivis on mõju neutraalne või kulusid vähendav.
