the targets are to be calculated based on the average weight of a single vehicle per year. while recycling is primarily defined as material processing with the purpose to use the material for the same or for a similar purpose, recovery is defined as incineration to generate energy. thus, the difference between the two targets reuse & recycling and reuse & recovery is the share which may go to an incineration facility. the countries have to report the annual performance to the eu commission. details with regard to the quota achieved country by country and year over year is available at eurostat website.
