The Waste Directive establishes the basic principles of waste management, but it does not regulate issues relating to crop residues that remain on the farm, which creates a legal vacuum at the level of European Union law. In this situation, Member States are obliged to respond to problems arising from certain types of production. The article presents the current situation in this area in south-western Europe, where, due to the seasonal nature of production, crop residues arise at certain times of year. As we know, the common agricultural policy promotes the sustainable development of agriculture in relation to production carried out on European territory, which is why, according to the author, it is necessary to introduce appropriate legal regulations. The proper use and management of these residues by farmers may contribute to the improvement of their income which is consistent with the principles of circular management as part of the valorisation of these harvest residues.

La direttiva sui rifiuti stabilisce i principi di base per la gestione degli stessi, ma non disciplina le questioni riguardanti i residui del raccolto rimasti nell’azienda agricola, il che crea un vuoto giuridico a livello di diritto dell’Unione europea. Per cui, gli Stati membri sono obbligati a reagire ai problemi derivanti da alcuni tipi di produzione. Al riguardo, l’articolo presenta la situazione attuale nell’Europa sudoccidentale, in cui – a causa della stagionalità della produzione – si formano residui di raccolto in determinati periodi dell’anno. Come noto, la politica agricola comune promuove lo sviluppo sostenibile dell'agricoltura in relazione alle produzioni realizzate sul territorio europeo. Pertanto, secondo l’Autrice, è necessario introdurre regolazioni giuridiche adeguate. Un corretto utilizzo e gestione dei residui in oggetto da parte degli agricoltori potrebbe contribuire ad accrescere il loro reddito, in coerenza con i principi dell’economia circolare portando alla valorizzazione dei residui stessi.
