Operative part of the judgment







1.


The first subparagraph of Article 24(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 on shipments of waste
must be interpreted as meaning that (i) points (c) and (d) of that subparagraph are to be applied alternatively, with point (d) being applied where point (c) is not applicable, and (ii) point (c) of that subparagraph requires the competent authority of the country of dispatch, where it discovers a shipment which it considers to be illegal, to recover or dispose of the waste taken back following such a shipment.










2.


Consideration of the third question has disclosed no factor of such a kind as to affect the validity of point (c) of the first subparagraph of Article 24(2) of Regulation No 1013/2006.
