3The Commission adopted Decision 94/3/EC of 20 December 1993 establishing a list of wastes pursuant to Article 1(a) of Directive 75/442 (OJ 1994 L 5, p. 15). The list was updated by Commission Decision 2000/532/EC of 3 May 2000 replacing Decision 94/3 and Council Decision 94/904/EC establishing a list of hazardous waste pursuant to Article 1(4) of Council Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste (OJ 2000 L 226, p. 3). The European Waste Catalogue established by Decision 2000/532 has been amended on a number of occasions, most recently by Council Decision 2001/573/EC of 23 July 2001 (OJ 2001 L 203, p. 18). The Annex to Decision 2000/532, which sets out the European Waste Catalogue, begins with an introduction, paragraph 1 of which states that the list is a harmonised list which will be periodically reviewed. Paragraph 1 further states that ‘inclusion in the [European Waste Catalogue] does not mean that the material is a waste in all circumstances. Materials are considered to be waste only where the definition of waste in Article 1(a) of [the Directive] is me’.
