55However, as the Advocate General observed in point 67 of her Opinion, Article 6(1), first subparagraph, of Directive 2008/98 merely sets out the conditions to be met by the specific criteria which make it possible to determine which waste ceases to be waste, within the meaning of Article 3(1) of that directive, when it has undergone a recovery, including recycling, operation. Therefore, such conditions cannot, in themselves, make it possible directly to establish that certain waste must no longer be regarded as such. Furthermore, it is common ground that such specific criteria have not been laid down by European Union law as regards wood treated in circumstances such as those in the case in the main proceedings.
