REGULATION (EC) No 1013/2006 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 14 June 2006

on shipments of waste

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE
EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Commu-
nity, and in particular Article 175(1) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and
Social Committee (1),

After consulting the Committee of the Regions,

of the Treaty (2),

Whereas:

(1)

The main and predominant objective and component of
this Regulation is the protection of the environment, its
effects on international trade being only incidental.

(3) Council Decision 93/98/EEC (6) concerned the conclusion,
on behalf of the Community, of the Basel Convention of
22 March 1989 on the control of transboundary move-
ments of hazardous wastes and their disposal (7), to which
the Community has been a Party since 1994. By adopting
Regulation (EEC) No 259/93, the Council has established
rules to curtail and to control such movements designed,
inter alia, to make the existing Community system for the
supervision and control of waste movements comply with
the requirements of the Basel Convention.

(4) Council Decision 97/640/EC (8) concerned the approval, on
behalf of the Community, of the amendment to the Basel
the
Convention, as
Conference of the Parties. By that amendment, all exports
of hazardous waste destined for disposal from countries
listed in Annex VII to the Convention to countries not listed
therein were prohibited, as were, with effect from 1 January
1998, all such exports of the hazardous waste referred to in
Article 1(1)(a) of the Convention and destined for recovery.
Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 was amended accordingly by

In view of the fact that the Community has approved
Decision C(2001)107/Final of the OECD Council concern-
ing the revision of Decision C(92)39/Final on the control of
transboundary movements of wastes destined for recovery
operations (OECD Decision), in order to harmonise waste
lists with the Basel Convention and revise certain other
requirements, it is necessary to incorporate the content of
that Decision in Community legislation.

It is important to organise and regulate the supervision and
control of shipments of waste in a way which takes account
of the need to preserve, protect and improve the quality of
the environment and human health and which promotes a
more uniform application of the Regulation throughout the
Community.

It is also important to bear in mind the requirement laid
the Basel Convention that
down in Article 4(2)(d) of
shipments of hazardous waste are to be reduced to a
minimum, consistent with environmentally sound and
efficient management of such waste.

Furthermore, it is important to bear in mind the right of
each Party to the Basel Convention, pursuant to Article 4(1)
thereof, to prohibit the import of hazardous waste or of
waste listed in Annex II to that Convention.

(10) Shipments of waste generated by armed forces or relief
organisations should be excluded from the scope of this
Regulation when imported into the Community in certain
situations (including transit within the Community when
the waste enters the Community). The requirements of
international law and international agreements should be
respected in relation to such shipments. In such cases, any
competent authority of transit and the competent authority
of destination in the Community should be informed in
advance concerning the shipment and its destination.

(11)

It is necessary to avoid duplication with Regulation (EC)
No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 3 October 2002 laying down health rules
concerning animal by-products not intended for human
consumption (1), which already contains provisions cover-
ing the overall consignment, channelling and movement
(collection, transport, handling, processing, use, recovery or
disposal, record keeping, accompanying documents and
traceability) of animal by-products within, into and out of
the Community.

(14)

In the case of shipments of waste destined for disposal
operations and waste not listed in Annex III, IIIA or IIIB
destined for recovery operations, it is appropriate to ensure
optimum supervision and control by requiring prior
written consent
to such shipments. Such a procedure
should in turn entail prior notification, which enables the
competent authorities to be duly informed so that they can
take all necessary measures for the protection of human
health and the environment. It should also enable those
authorities to raise reasoned objections to such a shipment.

(15)

In the case of shipments of waste listed in Annex III, IIIA or
IIIB destined for recovery operations, it is appropriate to
ensure a minimum level of supervision and control by
requiring such shipments to be accompanied by certain
information.

(18) Considering the responsibility of waste producers for the

producers.

(19)

It is necessary to provide procedural safeguards for the
notifier, both in the interests of legal certainty and to ensure
uniform application of
this Regulation and the proper
functioning of the internal market.

(12) The Commission should report by the date of entry into
force of this Regulation on the relationship between the
existing sectoral legislation on animal and public health and
the provisions of this Regulation, and should submit by that
date any proposals needed to bring such legislation into line
with this Regulation in order to achieve an equivalent level
of control.

(20)

(13) Although the supervision and control of shipments of
waste within a Member State is a matter for that Member
State, national systems concerning shipments of waste
should take account of the need for coherence with the
Community system in order to ensure a high level of
protection of the environment and human health.

(1) OJ L 273, 10.10.2002, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by
Commission Regulation (EC) No 416/2005 (OJ L 66, 12.3.2005,
p. 10).

In the case of shipments of waste for disposal, Member
States should take into account the principles of proximity,
priority for recovery and self-sufficiency at Community and
national levels, in accordance with Directive 2006/12/EC of
the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April
2006 on waste (2), by taking measures in accordance with
the Treaty to prohibit generally or partially or to object
systematically to such shipments. Account should also be
taken of the requirement laid down in Directive 2006/12/
EC, whereby Member States are to establish an integrated
and adequate network of waste disposal
in
order to enable the Community as a whole to become self-
sufficient in waste disposal and the Member States to move
towards that aim individually, taking into account geo-
graphical

installations for certain types of waste. Member States
should also be able to ensure that the waste management

24 September 1996 concerning integrated pollution
prevention and control (1) apply best available techniques
as defined in that Directive in compliance with the permit
of the facility, and that the waste is treated in accordance
with legally binding environmental protection standards in
relation to disposal operations established in Community
legislation.

(21)

In the case of shipments of waste destined for recovery,
Member States should be able to ensure that the waste
management facilities covered by Directive 96/61/EC apply
best available techniques as defined in that Directive in
compliance with the permit of the facility. Member States
should also be able to ensure that waste is treated in
accordance with legally binding environmental protection
standards in relation to recovery operations established in
Community legislation and that, taking account of Article 7
(4) of Directive 2006/12/EC, waste is treated in accordance
with waste management plans established pursuant to that
Directive with the purpose of ensuring the implementation
of
recycling obligations
legally binding recovery or
established in Community legislation.

(22) The development of mandatory requirements for waste
facilities and the treatment of specific waste materials at
Community level, in addition to the existing provisions of
Community law, can contribute to the creation of a high
level of environmental protection across the Community,
assist in the creation of a level playing field for recycling
and help to ensure that the development of an economic-
ally viable internal market for recycling is not hindered.
Therefore there is a need to develop a Community level
recycling through the application of
playing field for
common standards in certain areas, as appropriate and
including in relation to secondary materials, in order to
increase the quality of recycling. The Commission should
submit, as appropriate, proposals for such standards for
certain wastes and certain recycling facilities as soon as
practicable based on further examination in the context of
the waste strategy and taking into account existing
Community legislation and legislation in the Member
States. In the interim, it should be possible, under certain
to planned shipments where the
conditions,
related recovery would not be in accordance with national
legislation in the country of dispatch relating to the
recovery of waste. In the interim, the Commission should
also keep under review the situation regarding possible
undesired shipments of waste to the new Member States
and, if necessary, submit appropriate proposals to deal with
such situations.

(24) An obligation should be laid down to the effect that waste
from a shipment that cannot be completed as intended is to
be taken back to the country of dispatch or recovered or
disposed of in an alternative way.

(25)

It should also be made compulsory for the person whose
action is the cause of an illegal shipment to take back the
waste involved or make alternative arrangements for its
recovery or disposal. Failing that, the competent authorities
of dispatch or destination, as appropriate, should intervene
themselves.

(26)

It is necessary, in order to protect the environment of the
countries concerned, to clarify the scope of the prohibition
laid down in accordance with the Basel Convention of
exports from the Community of any waste destined for
disposal in a third country other than an EFTA (European
Free Trade Association) country.

(27) Countries that are Parties to the Agreement on the
European Economic Area may adopt the control proce-
dures provided for shipments within the Community.

It is also necessary, in order to protect the environment of
the countries concerned,
the
prohibition of exports of hazardous waste destined for
recovery in a country to which the OECD Decision does not
apply, also laid down in accordance with the Basel
Convention. In particular, it is necessary to clarify the list
of waste to which that prohibition applies and to ensure
that it also includes the waste listed in Annex II to the Basel
Convention, namely waste collected from households and
residues from the incineration of household waste.

(29) Specific arrangements should be maintained for exports of
non-hazardous waste destined for recovery in countries to
which the OECD Decision does not apply and provision
should be made for them to be further streamlined at a later
date.

(30)

Imports into the Community of waste for disposal should
be permitted where the exporting country is a Party to the
Basel Convention. Imports into the Community of waste
for recovery should be permitted where the exporting
country is one to which the OECD Decision applies or is a
Party to the Basel Convention. In other cases, however,
imports should be allowed only if the exporting country is
bound by a bilateral or multilateral agreement or arrange-
ment compatible with Community legislation and in
accordance with Article 11 of the Basel Convention, except

third countries should be promoted with a view to ensuring
sound management of waste.

(31) This Regulation should be applied in accordance with

international maritime law.

(32) This Regulation should reflect the rules regarding exports
and imports of waste to and from the overseas countries
and territories laid down in Council Decision 2001/822/EC
of 27 November 2001 on the association of the overseas
countries and territories with the European Community
(Overseas Association Decision) (1).

(37) Certain Annexes to this Regulation should be adopted by
the Commission in accordance with the procedure referred
to in Article 18(3) of Directive 2006/12/EC. This procedure
should also apply to the amendment of the Annexes to take
account of scientific and technical progress, of modifica-
tions in the relevant Community legislation or of events
connected to the OECD Decision or
to the Basel
Convention and other related international conventions
and agreements.

(33) The necessary steps should be taken to ensure that,

in
accordance with Directive 2006/12/EC and other Commu-
nity legislation on waste, waste shipped within the
Community and waste imported into the Community is
managed, throughout the period of shipment and including
recovery or disposal in the country of destination, without
endangering human health and without using processes or
methods which could harm the environment. As regards
exports from the Community that are not prohibited,
efforts should be made to ensure that the waste is managed
in an environmentally sound manner
the
period of shipment and including recovery or disposal in
the third country of destination. The facility which receives
the waste should be operated in accordance with human
health and environmental protection standards that are
broadly equivalent
to those established in Community
legislation. A list of non-binding guidelines should be
established in which guidance may be

the Commission, taking into account the OECD Decision
and the Basel Convention, should specify, inter alia, that the
notification and movement documents should, as far as
possible, be on two pages and what the precise timing is for
completion of the notification and movement documents
in Annex IA and IB, taking into account Annex II. In
addition, where terminology and requirements differ
between the OECD Decision or the Basel Convention and
this Regulation,
should be
clarified.

the specific requirements

In considering the mixtures of wastes to be added in
Annex IIIA, the following information should be consid-
ered,
inter alia: the properties of the waste, such as its
its potential for con-
possible hazardous characteristics,
tamination and its physical state; the management aspects,
such as the technological capacity to recover the waste, and
the environmental benefits arising from the recovery
including whether the environmentally sound
operation,
management of the waste may be impaired. The Commis-
sion should progress towards the completion of this Annex
as far as possible before the date of entry into force of this
Regulation and complete this task at the latest six months
after that date.

(40) Additional measures related to the implementation of this
Regulation should also be adopted by the Commission in
accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 18(3)
of Directive 2006/12/EC. These measures should include a
method for calculating the financial guarantee or equivalent
insurance to be completed by the Commission, if possible,
before the date of application of this Regulation.

the terms of the notification and movement documents and/or
contract referred to in the second subparagraph, point 4 of
Article 4 and in Article 5,
immediately inform the

it shall

2. The competent authority of dispatch shall ensure that,
except in cases referred to in paragraph 3, the waste in question
is taken back to its area of jurisdiction or elsewhere within the
country of dispatch by the notifier as identified in accordance
with the ranking established in point 15 of Article 2, or,
if
impracticable, by that competent authority itself or by a natural
or legal person on its behalf.

This shall take place within 90 days, or such other period as may
be agreed between the competent authorities concerned, after
the competent authority of dispatch becomes aware or has been
advised in writing by the competent authorities of destination or
transit that the consented shipment of waste or its recovery or
disposal cannot be completed and has been informed of the
reason(s) therefor. Such advice may result from information
submitted to the competent authorities of destination or transit,
inter alia, by other competent authorities.

1. All documents sent to or by the competent authorities in
relation to a notified shipment shall be kept in the Community
for at least three years from the date when the shipment starts, by

the competent authorities of dispatch, transit and destination
involved in disposing of or recovering the waste are satisfied that
the waste can be recovered or disposed of in an alternative way
in the country of destination or elsewhere by the notifier or, if
impracticable, by the competent authority of dispatch or by a
natural or legal person on its behalf.

The take-back obligation in paragraph 2 shall not apply if the
waste shipped has, in the course of the operation at the facility

concerned, been irreversibly mixed with other waste before a
competent authority concerned has become aware of the fact
that the notified shipment cannot be completed as referred to in
paragraph 1. Such mixture shall be recovered or disposed of in
an alternative way in accordance with the first subparagraph.

4.
In cases of take-back as referred to in paragraph 2, a new
notification shall be submitted, unless the competent authorities
concerned agree that a duly reasoned request by the initial
competent authority of dispatch is sufficient.

A new notification, where appropriate, shall be submitted by the
initial notifier or, if impracticable, by any other natural or legal
persons identified in accordance with point 15 of Article 2, or, if
impracticable, by the initial competent authority of dispatch or
by a natural or legal person on its behalf.

No competent authority shall oppose or object to the return of
waste from a shipment that cannot be completed or to the
related recovery and disposal operation.

In cases of alternative arrangements outside the initial
5.
country of destination as referred to in paragraph 3, a new
notification, where appropriate, shall be submitted by the initial
notifier or, if impracticable, by any other natural or legal persons
identified in accordance with point 15 of Article 2, or,
if
impracticable, by the initial competent authority of dispatch or
by a natural or legal person on its behalf.

When such a new notification is submitted by the notifier, this
notification shall also be submitted to the competent authority of
the initial country of dispatch.

6.
In cases of alternative arrangements in the initial country of
destination as referred to in paragraph 3, a new notification shall
not be required and a duly reasoned request shall suffice. Such a
duly reasoned request, seeking agreement
to the alternative
arrangement, shall be transmitted to the competent authority of
destination and dispatch by the initial notifier or, if impracticable,
to the competent authority of destination by the initial
competent authority of dispatch.

7.
If no new notification is to be submitted in accordance with
paragraphs 4 or 6, a new movement document shall be
completed in accordance with Article 15 or Article 16 by the
initial notifier or, if impracticable, by any other natural or legal
persons identified in accordance with point 15 of Article 2, or, if
impracticable, by the initial competent authority of dispatch or
by a natural or legal person on its behalf.

8. The obligation of the notifier and the subsidiary obligation
of the country of dispatch to take the waste back or arrange for
alternative recovery or disposal shall end when the facility issues
the certificate of non-interim recovery or disposal as referred to
in Article 16(e) or, where appropriate, in Article 15(e). In the
cases of interim recovery or disposal referred to in Article 6(6),
the subsidiary obligation of the country of dispatch shall end
when the facility issues the certificate referred to in Article 15(d).

If a facility issues a certificate of recovery or disposal in such a
way as to result in an illegal shipment, with the consequence that
the financial guarantee is released, Article 24(3) and Article 25(2)
shall apply.

9. Where waste from a shipment which cannot be completed,
including its recovery or disposal, is discovered within a Member
State, the competent authority with jurisdiction over the area
where the waste was discovered shall be responsible for ensuring
that arrangements are made for the safe storage of the waste
pending its return or non-interim recovery or disposal in an
alternative way.

ANNEX V

WASTE SUBJECT TO THE EXPORT PROHIBITION IN ARTICLE 36

Introductory notes

1.

2.

This Annex applies without prejudice to Directives 91/689/EEC and 2006/12/EC.

This Annex consists of three parts, Parts 2 and 3 of which apply only when Part 1 is not applicable. Consequently, to
determine whether a specific waste is listed in this Annex, an initial check must be made to ascertain whether the
waste is listed in Part 1 of this Annex, and, if it does not, whether it is listed in Part 2, and, if it does not, whether it is
listed in Part 3.

Part 1 is divided into two sub-sections: List A lists wastes which are classified as hazardous by Article 1(1)(a) of the
Basel Convention, and therefore covered by the export prohibition, and List B lists wastes which are not covered by
Article 1(1)(a) of the Basel Convention, and therefore not covered by the export prohibition.

Thus, if a waste is listed in Part 1, a check must be made to ascertain whether it is listed in List A or in List B. Only if a
waste is not listed in either List A or List B of Part 1, must a check be made to ascertain whether it is listed either
among the hazardous waste listed in Part 2 (i.e. types of waste marked with an asterisk) or in Part 3, and if this is the
case, it is covered by the export prohibition.

3. Wastes listed in List B of Part 1 or which are among the non-hazardous waste listed in Part 2 (i.e. wastes not marked
with an asterisk) are covered by the export prohibition if they are contaminated by other materials to an extent which

(a)

increases the risks associated with the waste sufficiently to render it appropriate for submission to the procedure
of prior written notification and consent, when taking into account the hazardous characteristics listed in
Annex III to Directive 91/689/EEC; or

(b)

prevents the recovery of the waste in an environmentally sound manner.

(1)

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 without
changing the chemical properties of the waste.

(2) A waste is considered as partly stabilised if after the stabilisation process dangerous constituents which have not been changed

completely into non-dangerous constituents could be released into the environment in the short, middle or long term.
