The measures in place 
establish the procedures and control regimes for the shipment of waste, depending on the origin, destination and route of the shipment, the type of waste shipped and the type of treatment to be applied to the waste at its destination. In certain specific circumstances the import/export of waste is restricted. Notably: 
1) a prohibition on exports to third countries of waste intended for disposal (except to EFTA countries which are party to the Basel Convention), as well as on exports of hazardous waste intended for recovery, of  Regulation (EC)
