THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European EconomicCommunity, and in particular Article 130s thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(
1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3),
Whereas the Community has signed the Basle Convention of 22 March
1989 on the control of transboundary movements of hazardous wastes
and their disposal;
Whereas provisions concerning waste are contained in Article 39 of the
ACP-EEC Convention of 15 December 1989;
Whereas the Community has approved the Decision of the OECD
Council of 30 March 1992 on the control of transfrontier movements ofwastes destined for recovery operations;
Whereas, in the light of the foregoing, Directive 84/631/EEC(
4), which
organizes the supervision and control of transfrontier shipments of
hazardous waste, needs to be replaced by a Regulation;
Whereas the supervision and control of shipments of waste within a
Member State is a national responsibility; whereas, however, nationalsystems for the supervision and control of shipments of waste within aMember State should comply with minimum criteria in order to ensure ahigh level of protection of the environment and human health;
Whereas it is important to organize the supervision and control of
shipments of wastes in a way which takes account of the need to
preserve, protect and improve the quality of the environment;
Whereas Council Directive 75/442/EEC of 15 July 1975 on waste(
5)
lays down in its Article 5 (1) that an integrated and adequate network ofwaste disposal installations, to be established by Member States throughappropriate measures, where necessary or advisable in cooperation with
other Member States, must enable the Community as a whole to become
self-sufficient in waste disposal and the Member States to move towardsthat aim individually, taking into account geographical circumstances orthe need for specialized installations for certain types of waste; whereasArticle 7 of the said Directive requests the drawing up of wastemanagement plans, if appropriate in cooperation with the Member States
concerned, which shall be notified to the Commission, and stipulates
that Member States may take measures necessary to prevent movementsof waste which are not in accordance with their waste management plansand that they shall inform the Commission and the other Member Statesof any such measures;
Whereas it is necessary to apply different procedures depending on the
type of waste and its destination, including whether it is destined for
disposal or recovery;
Whereas shipments of waste must be subject to prior notification to the
competent authorities enabling them to be duly informed in particular of1993R0259 — EN — 01.01.2002 — 007.001 — 2

the type, movement and disposal or recovery of the waste, so that these
authorities may take all necessary measures for the protection of humanhealth and the environment, including the possibility of raising reasoned
objections to the shipment;
Whereas Member States should be able to implement the principles of
proximity, priority for recovery and self-sufficiency at Community and
national levels — in accordance with Directive 75/442/EEC — bytaking measures in accordance with the Treaty to prohibit generally orpartially or to object systematically to shipments of waste for disposal,except in the case of hazardous waste produced in the Member State of
dispatch in such a small quantity that the provision of new specialized
disposal installations within that State would be uneconomic; whereasthe specific problem of disposal of such small quantities requirescooperation between the Member States concerned and possiblerecourse to aCommunity procedure;
Whereas exports of waste for disposal to third countries must be
prohibited in order to protect the environment of those countries;whereas exceptions shall apply to exports to EFTA countries which are
also Parties to the Basle Convention;
Whereas exports of waste for recovery to countries to which the OECD
Decision does not apply must be subject to conditions providing for
environmentally sound management of waste;
Whereas agreements or arrangements on exports of waste for recovery
with countries to which the OECD Decision does not apply must be
subject to periodic review by the Commission leading, if appropriate, toaproposa l by the Commission to reconsider the conditions under whichsuch exports take place, including the possibility of a ban;
Whereas shipments of waste for recovery listed on the green list of the
OECD Decision shall be generally excluded from the control proceduresof this Regulation since such waste should not normally present a risk to
the environment if properly recovered in the country of # IO116,9 #
destination; whereas some exceptions to this exclusion are necessary inaccordance with Community legislation and the OECD Decision;whereas some exceptions are also necessary in order to facilitate thetracking of such shipments within the Community and to take account ofexceptional cases; whereas such waste shall be subject to Directive 75/
442/EEC;
Whereas exports of waste for recovery listed on the OECD green list to
countries to which the OECD Decision does not apply must be subject to
consultation by the Commission with the country of destination; whereasit may be appropriate in the light of such consultation that theCommission make proposals to the Council;
Whereas exports of waste for recovery to countries which are not parties
to the Basle Convention must be subject to specific agreements betweenthese countries and the Community; whereas Member States must, inexceptional cases, be able to conclude after the date of application of
this Regulation bilateral agreements for the import of specific waste
before the Community has concluded such agreements, in the case ofwaste for recovery in order to avoid any interruption of waste treatmentand in the case of waste for disposal where the country of dispatch doesnot have or cannot reasonably acquire the technical capacity andnecessary facilities to dispose of the waste in an environmentally sound
manner;
Whereas provision must be made for the waste to be taken back or to be
disposed of or recovered in an alternative and environmentally sound
manner if the shipment cannot be completed in accordance with theterms of the consignment note or the contract;
Whereas, in the event of illegal traffic, the person whose action is the
cause of such traffic must take back and/or dispose of or recover thewaste in an alternative and environmentally sound manner; whereas,should he fail to do so, the competent authorities of dispatch ordestination, as appropriate, must themselves intervene;1993R0259 — EN — 01.01.2002 — 007.001 — 3

ANNEX V
Introductorynotes
1. Annex V shall apply without prejudice to Directive 75/442/EEC, as amended
by Directive 91/156/EEC and Directive 91/689/EEC.
2. This Annex consists of three parts, whereby parts 2 and 3 only apply when part
1 is not of application. Consequently, to determine if a specific waste is
covered by Annex V of Council Regulation (EEC) No 259/93, one has to first
check whether the waste features in part 1 of Annex V, if this is not the casewhether it features in part 2, and if this is not the case whether it features in
part 3.
Part 1 is divided into two sub-sections: List A enumerating wastes which are
classified as hazardous for the purposes of the Basel Convention and therefore
are covered by the export ban and List B enumerating wastes which are not
covered by the export ban.
Thus, if a waste features in part 1, one has to check if it is enumerated in List
A or in List B. Only if a waste does not feature in either List A or List B of
part 1, one has to check if it features among the hazardous waste of part 2 or in
part 3 and if this is the case it is covered by the export ban.
3. Member States may make provisions, in exceptional cases, to determine, on
the basis of documentary evidence provided in an appropriate way by the
holder, that a specific hazardous waste on this Annex is excluded from the
export ban referred to in Article 16, paragraph 1, of Council Regulation (EEC)
No 259/93 as amended, if it does not display any of the properties listed in
Annex III to Directive 91/689/EEC, taking into account, as regards H3 to H8,
H10 and H11 of the said Annex, the limit values laid down in Commission
Decision 2000/532/EC as amended.
In such a case, the Member State concerned shall inform the envisaged
importing country prior to taking a decision. Member States shall notify such
cases to the Commission before the end of each calendar year. The
Commission shall forward the information to all Member States and to the
Secretariat of the Basel Convention. On the basis of the information provided,
the Commission may make comments and, where appropriate, submit
proposals to the Committee established pursuant to Article 18 of Directive
75/442/EEC with a view to adapting Annex V of Council Regulation (EEC)
No 259/93.
4. The fact that a waste is not listed as hazardous in this Annex, or that it is listed
in part 1, list B, does not preclude, in exceptional cases, characterisation of
such a waste as hazardous and therefore subject to the export ban referred to in
Article 16(1), of Council Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 as amended, if it
displays any of the properties listed in Annex III to Directive 91/689/EEC,
taking into account, as regards H3 to H8, H10 and H11 of the said Annex, the
limit values laid down in Commission Decision 2000/532/EC, as amended, asprovided for in Article 1(4), second indent, of Directive 91/689/EEC and in the
Header of Annex II to Council Regulation (EEC) No 259/93.
In such a case, the Member State concerned shall inform the envisaged
importing country prior to taking a decision. Member States shall notify such
cases to the Commission before the end of each calendar year. The
Commission shall forward the information to all Member States and to the
Secretariat of the Basel Convention. On the basis of the information provided,
the Commission may make comments and, where appropriate, submit
proposals to the Committee established pursuant to Article 18 of Directive
75/442/EEC with a view to adapting Annex V of Council Regulation (EEC)

Cobalt, Copper, Yttrium, Niobium, Hafnium, Tungsten, Titanium, Chromium, Iron,
Nickel, Zinc, Zirconium, Molybdenum and Tantalum. These metals or their compounds
are dangerous if they are classified as dangerous substances. The classification ofdangerous substances shall determine which among those transition metals and whichtransition metal compounds are hazardous.
(
4) Stabilisation processes change the dangerousness of the constituents in the waste and
thus transform hazardous waste into non hazardous waste. Solidification processes only
change the physical state of the waste (e.g. liquid into solid) by using additives withoutchanging the chemical properties of the waste.
(
5) A waste is considered as partly stabilised if after the stalibisation process dangerous
constituents which have not been changed completely into non dangerous constituents
could be released into the environment in short, middle or long term.
(6) Hazardous components from electrical and electronic equipment may include
accumulators and batteries mentioned in 16 06 and marked as hazardous; mercuryswitches, glass from cathode ray tubes and other activated glass etc.1993R0259 — EN — 01.01.2002 — 007.001 — 78

PART 3
Waste from Appendix 4, Part II of Decision C(2001) 107 of the OECD Council
on the Revision of Decision C(92) 39/Final on the Control of Transboundary
Movements of Wastes Destined for Recovery Operations. The wastes numbered
AB 130, AC 250, AC 260 and AC 270 have been deleted since they have beenconsidered, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18 of Directive
75/442/EEC, to be non-hazardous and therefore not subject to the export ban laid
down in Article 16(1).
