These shortcomings constitute violations of the EU's Waste Framework Directive and pose a risk to human health and the environment and the Hazardous Waste Directive , A 2003 inventory of waste produced in Portugal showed that the actual volume of hazardous industrial waste was some 20% higher than the amount declared by operators.

Statistical instruments are still required, however, for assessing compliance with the principle of waste prevention and to establish a link between waste generation data and global, national and regional inventories of resource use.

It includes an analysis of the current situation, the development of an industrial solid waste inventory and the use of waste management tools.

Hospital waste incinerators : a comprehensive inventory on these facilities, including their main operation data will be generated in the short-term and those countries still relying on the on-site incineration of hospital waste will be encouraged to change to other, less emissive waste management systems and treatment methodologies as soon as possible.

For some directives, investment requirements were not known until after an initial assessment or planning exercise had taken place, for example, a national waste management plan setting forth a strategy for regional landfills, or an inventory of non-compliant emissions from municipal waste incinerators.
