EU THEMATIC STRATEGY ON SOIL PROTECTION AND THE PROJECTED SOIL FRAMEWORK DIRECTIVE... 

Clean Air for Europe (CAFE) was launched in March 2001 (CAFE 2007). CAFE is a program of technical analysis and policy development, which supported the development of the Thematic Strategy on Air Pollution under the Sixth EAP. The EU Commission adopted the Thematic Strategy in September 2005. 

An EU Soil Framework Directive is presently being developed. The EU has decided to adopt a Thematic Strategy on Soil Protection as part of its aim of protection and preservation of namral resources. A proposal for this is being finalized in 2006 (EC 2007b).

The European Commission s Thematic Strategy on the prevention and recycling of waste established new aims and objectives for EU waste policy. In addition, it put forward a vision of an EU recycling society as its long-term goal [4].

Although implementation seems to show different speed in different areas of Europe, there is consensus on the fact that the separate collection of organics will continue to grow in the near future. As a matter of fact, many EU policies and thematic strategies are further propelling the interest in it. 

The Thematic Strategy on Soils, which recalls the importance of replenishing organic matter in soils in order to ensure resilience and fertility, and fight erosion and desertification. 

The decree, which enforces various EU Directives and Thematic Strategies, mandates a general midterm target of 65% for the separate collection from MSW, a goal which requires, no doubt, a widespread adoption of the separate collection of oi anic waste.
