excludes from the scope of application of that Regulation ship-ments of waste destined for recovery only and listed in Annex IIthereto, except as provided for in, inter alia, Article 17(1), (2)
and (3);
(2)Whereas, in accordance with Article 17(1) of Regulation (EEC)No 259/93, the Commission has notified to every country towhich the OECD Council Decision of 30 March 1992 on thecontroloftransfrontiermovementsofwastedestinedforrecoveryoperation does not apply the list of waste set out in Annex II tothe said Regulation and has requested confirmation that suchwaste is not subject to control in the country of destination, orhasaskedthatsuchcountriesindicatewhethersuchwasteshouldbe subject to the control procedures which apply to waste listedinAnnexIIIorIVtothesaidRegulationortotheprocedurelaiddown in Article 15 thereof;
(3)Whereas certain countries have indicated that such waste shouldbe subject to one or other of those control procedures and theCommission on 20 July 1994, pursuant to the provisions ofArticle 17(3) of the said Regulation adopted Decision 94/575/EC(
5) to determine the appropriate control procedures;
(4)Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 17(1) of Regulation(EEC) No 259/93 provides that if such confirmation is notreceived,theCommissionistomakeappropriateproposalstotheCouncil; whereas it is therefore necessary to establish, on aCommunity-wide basis, a system to regulate trade in such wastefrom the Community by establishing the appropriate commonrules and procedures relating to exports thereof;
(5)Whereas,inthecaseofcountrieswhichhaverepliedthattheydonot wish to receive some or all types of waste listed in Annex IItothesaidRegulation,theirwillmustberespectedandthereforethose types of waste cannot be exported to those countries;
(6)Whereas,inthecaseofcountrieswhichhavenotreplied,silencecannot be taken as implying consent and therefore it is appro-priate to adopt a similar regulatory framework in order to enable
