               EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
            
            
            
               1.CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL
            
            
               •Reasons for and objectives of the proposal
            
            
               In 2018, global trade in waste reached 182 million tonnes with a value of around EUR 80.5 billion
                  1
               . Such trade has increased considerably in the last decades, with a peak of nearly 250 million tonnes in 2011. The EU is an important player in global trade in waste, and considerable volumes of waste are being shipped between Member States. In 2020, the EU exported to non-EU countries around 32.7 million tonnes of waste, an increase of 75% since 2004
                  2
               , with a value of EUR 13 billion. Ferrous and non-ferrous metal scrap, paper waste, plastic waste, textile waste and glass waste represent the majority of waste exported from the EU. The EU also imported approximately 16 million tonnes, valued at EUR 13.5 billion. In addition, around 67 million tonnes of waste per year are shipped between Member States
                  3
                (intra-EU shipments of waste).
            
            
               Waste shipped across borders can generate risks for human health and the environment, especially when not properly controlled. At the same time, these wastes often have a positive economic value, notably as secondary raw materials that can replace and reduce dependence on primary materials and thereby contribute to a more circular economy.
            
            
               Measures on the supervision and control of shipments of waste have been in place in the EU since 1984. In 1989, the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal (Basel Convention) was adopted to address serious problems linked to deposits of toxic wastes imported from abroad to various parts of the developing world. In 1992, the OECD adopted a legally binding Decision
                  4
                on the control of transboundary movements of wastes destined for recovery operations (OECD Decision).
            
            
               Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006
                  5
                (Waste Shipment Regulation (WSR)) implements in EU law the provisions of both the Basel Convention and the OECD Decision. In certain aspects, the WSR contains stricter control measures than the Basel Convention. The WSR requires Member States to ensure that shipments of waste and their treatment operations are managed in a manner that protects the environment and human health against any adverse effects that might result from such wastes. The WSR sets out control mechanisms for the export and import of waste between the EU and third countries, and for shipments between Member States. The types of controls under the WSR depend on the characteristics of the waste (for example hazardous, non-hazardous), its destination, and its treatment as part of recovery (for example recycling) or disposal (for example landfilling) operations. The WSR also lays down export prohibitions for certain categories of waste and certain destinations: the most important example is the prohibition to export hazardous waste from the EU to non-OECD countries.
            
            
               The overall objective of the WSR review is to increase the level of protection of the environment and public health from the impacts of unsound transboundary shipments of waste. It addresses the problems identified in the WSR evaluation published by the Commission in January 2020
                  6
                (see more information on this in point 3 below).
            
            
               The WSR revision also responds to the call under the European Green Deal
                  7
                and the Circular Economy Action Plan
                  8
                to revise the WSR with the aim of:
            
            
               ·facilitating shipments of waste for reuse and recycling in the EU;
            
            
               ·ensuring that the EU does not export its waste challenges to third countries; and
            
            
               ·
                     tackling illegal waste shipments.
            
            
               Moreover, the European Green Deal and the Industrial Strategy
                  9
               , including its update
                  10
                acknowledged that access to raw materials is of strategic importance and a pre-requisite for Europe to deliver on its green and digital transition. The Critical Raw Materials Action Plan
                  11
                stressed that significant amounts of resources leave Europe in the form of wastes, instead of being recycled into secondary raw materials and thus contributing to the diversification of sources of supply for the industrial ecosystems in the EU.
            
            
               The European Parliament and the Council have also invited the Commission to come forward with an ambitious revision of the WSR
                  12
               .
            
            
            
               •Consistency with existing policy provisions in the policy area
            
            
               
                  There are synergies between the WSR and other pieces of EU waste legislation, especially the Waste Framework Directive
                     13
                   and directives covering specific waste streams. The Directive on the end-of-life vehicles
                     14
                  , the Batteries Directive
                     15
                  , the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive
                     16
                   and the WEEE Directive
                     17
                   all contain specific provisions on transboundary movement of the specified waste streams that refer to the WSR.
               
            
            
               •Consistency with other Union policies
            
         
         
            
               
                  There are also synergies between the WSR and other EU legislation that is relevant for waste shipments, especially the Environmental Crime Directive
                     18
                  . This Directive covers the penalisation of criminal waste shipments and complements the WSR’s enforcement provisions.
               
            
            
               2.LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY
            
            
               •Legal basis
            
            
               The existing legal basis of the Waste Shipment Regulation is Article 192 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which stipulates how Article 191 of the Treaty should be implemented. Article 191 addresses EU policy on the environment, which must contribute to pursuing the following objectives:
            
            
               ·preserving, protecting and improving the quality of the environment;
            
            
               ·protecting human health;
            
            
               ·utilising natural resources prudently and rationally; and
            
            
               ·promoting measures at international level to deal with regional or worldwide environmental problems, and in particular to combat climate change.
            
            
               •Subsidiarity 
            
            
               The WSR ensures that the EU’s comprehensive waste legislation is not circumvented by shipping waste to third countries where waste management standards and performance greatly differ from those in the EU. It is important that common rules on the control of transboundary movements of waste are laid down at EU level, to avoid a situation where illegal operators would choose to ship their waste through Member States with less strict domestic rules than others, to export this waste from the EU (port-hopping scenario). EU rules are also justified for intra-EU shipments of waste because the EU waste industry is highly integrated and to ensure equal treatment and legal clarity for all economic actors in this sector.
            
            
               •Proportionality
            
            
               The WSR ensures consistency in the implementation by each Member State of the Basel Convention and the OECD Decision and as a result avoid obstacles to the shipments of waste within the EU or impediments to the good functioning of the EU internal market. In addition, the EU approach to waste shipment is stricter than the Basel Convention when it comes to export of waste, as it prohibits the export of waste for disposal outside EFTA countries, and the export of some non-hazardous waste
                  19
                outside the OECD. The EU approach has a clear environmental added value compared with each Member State individually relying on the Basel Convention. Indeed, the EU is one of the only parties to the Basel Convention to apply such strict rules. 
            
            
               •Choice of the instrument
            
            
               In 1984, Council Directive 84/631/EEC of 6 December 1984
                  20
                was adopted, introducing EU‑wide measures on the supervision and control of shipments of waste. The Directive covered shipments of hazardous waste. It required a prior informed consent procedure for the countries concerned, thereby allowing them to object to a specific shipment.
            
            
               Directive 84/631/EEC was amended by Council Directive 86/279/EEC of 12 June 1986, which introduced additional provisions in order to improve the monitoring of exports of waste from the Community. Following international developments in the context of the Basel Convention and the OECD, the first Waste Shipment Regulation (Council Regulation (EEC) No 259/93, repealing Directive 84/631/EEC) was adopted in 1993.
            
            
               It is important to note that a regulation — rather than a directive — was deemed necessary at that time in order to ensure simultaneous and harmonised application in all Member States. The choice of a regulation remains justified as it sets direct requirements for all operators, thus providing the necessary legal certainty and enforcement possibility of a fully integrated market across the EU. A regulation also ensures that the obligations are implemented at the same time and in the same way in all 27 Member States.
            
            
               3.RESULTS OF EX POST EVALUATIONS, STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIONS AND IMPACT ASSESSMENTS
            
            
               •Ex post evaluations/fitness checks of existing legislation
            
            
               
                  The Waste Shipment Regulation has been evaluated under five criteria, namely its effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, coherence and EU added value. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007, adopted under Article 37(1) of the WSR, was also taken into consideration.
               
               
                  The main findings of the evaluation are the following.
               
            
         
         
            
               ·The WSR has established a robust legal framework that has been implemented by Member States. The WSR has generally been effective in delivering its two main objectives: to protect the environment and human health from adverse effects of waste shipments; and to implement the EU’s international commitments in this area. It has led to a better control of waste shipments and contributed to the environmentally sound management of shipped wastes at national and EU levels.
            
            
               ·At the same time, different levels and ways of applying and enforcing the WSR, often combined with different interpretations of its provisions and various inspection regimes, have hampered its optimal implementation throughout the EU. These factors limit or discourage legal shipments of good quality waste materials to recycling facilities, which are important for the transition to a circular economy in the EU.
            
            
               ·When it comes to the export of wastes, especially non-hazardous wastes, from the EU, a major shortcoming is the insufficient supervision of the conditions under which these wastes are managed in destination countries, especially in developing countries. As a result, the export of some waste from the EU has created environmental and public health challenges in the countries of destination. It also represents a loss of resources for EU recycling industries.
            
            
               ·Illegal shipments of waste within and from and to the EU also remain a considerable problem due to the general nature of the WSR provisions. This relates in particular to the elements that need to be checked by the competent authorities, for example on the environmentally sound management of waste and on enforcement. However, it is also due to shortcomings in the implementation and enforcement of the WSR.
            
            
               
                  These findings have been instrumental in defining the objectives pursued by the revision of the WSR.
               
            
            
               •Stakeholder consultations
            
            
               
                  Stakeholders were consulted throughout the evaluation and impact assessment processes, which served to prepare the WSR revision. An open public consultation and a workshop were organised in 2018 to prepare for the evaluation. An inception impact assessment was then published on 11 March 2020 for public feedback, which was followed by an open public consultation until 30 July 2020 and a workshop on 23-24 September 2020. In addition, as part of the impact assessment process, several targeted consultations took place with a large number of stakeholders. More information on this consultation process can be found in Annexes 2 and 3 of the impact assessment report.
               
               
                  Stakeholders and Member States generally agreed with the main findings of the WSR evaluation and with the need to revise the WSR to address these findings.
               
               
                  On the issue of intra-EU shipments of waste, economic operators expressed strong support for a modernisation of the procedures applicable to shipments of waste and for the adoption of EU measures to avoid a fragmentation of the EU internal market. They particularly called for a digitalisation of the notification procedure, a better functioning of the fast-track procedures, the setting of common rules to decide on the classification of waste, and better standardisation of the calculation of financial guarantees. Civil society voices stressed the need for a better alignment of the WSR with the proximity principle and the waste hierarchy. On the other hand, some economic operators indicated that the WSR should not lay down substantial provisions (which are laid down in other legislation) but be limited to procedural requirements for the shipment of waste.
               
               
                  As to the export of waste from the EU, stakeholders generally acknowledged that the WSR should be amended to avoid situations where waste exported from the EU is mismanaged in the countries of destination. Different views were expressed as to the possible solutions to address this problem. Some stakeholders expressed concerns on measures that would lead to possible disruptions in global trade in high‑quality waste and on the impact of such measures on the EU sector currently involved in the collection, sorting and recycling of waste. They notably highlighted that there might not be enough capacity in the EU to deal with waste that is currently exported from the EU. This view was not shared by some other economic operators, who indicated that such capacity would be available. Civil society insisted on the need for the EU to set up very restrictive measures on the export of plastic waste from the EU.
               
               
                  Stakeholders generally expressed support for reinforcing the provisions against illegal shipments of waste.
               
               
                  The Commission proposal takes account of the views expressed and presents a proportionate approach to deal with the problems identified in the evaluation. This is particularly the case for the measures relating to export of waste, which do not amount to a blanket ban on export and which will only apply 3 years after the entry into force of the proposed regulation. All stakeholders and third countries, therefore, will have sufficient time to prepare for the implementation of the new rules.
               
            
            
               •Collection and use of expertise
            
            
               The impact assessment for the review of the Waste Shipment Regulation was supported by a study by external experts. These experts worked closely with the Commission through the different phases of the study. The Commission also used numerous other sources of information to prepare this proposal.
            
            
               •Impact assessment
            
            
               
                  The proposal is based on an impact assessment. After having addressed the Regulatory Scrutiny Board's comments in its negative opinion of 9 April 2021, a revised impact assessment received a positive opinion on 4 June 2021. In its final opinion, the Board asked for further details, mainly on the comparison of options addressed in the impact assessment.
               
            
            
               This impact assessment considered four policy options.
            
            
               Policy option 1 is the baseline scenario. This assumes that the Basel Convention and the OECD Decision will remain largely unchanged until at least 2030. In addition, the current WSR, including its delegated Regulation, will continue to be applicable. Its current implementation will continue and harmonisation across Member States would be further pursued through existing efforts, notably the development of guidance and ad hoc exchanges between Member States, mostly via the Waste Shipment Correspondents
                  21
               . The EU will also continue to promote global measures to improve the control of transboundary movements of waste and waste management in international organisations, especially the Basel Convention and the OECD. 
            
            
               The table below provides an overview of options 2, 3 and 4, which are alternatives to option 1 (baseline scenario), and the combination of measures in these options.

                        x
                     
                  
               
               Policy option 2 (targeted changes) provides a package of measures that can effectively and, to an extent, efficiently address some of the problems that hamper the good functioning of the WSR.
            
            
               Compared with the baseline, the targeted changes provide effective and consistent responses to achieve specific objectives, in particular to reduce administrative burden and to raise waste shipment for treatment higher up in the waste hierarchy. However, the envisaged measures alone would not be able to deliver maximum benefits, mostly due to the lower efficiency and lower internal coherence. Compared with the structural changes (option 3), this option will address only partly the challenges linked to the export of waste (objective 2). The measures only target certain problem areas, e.g. by setting out criteria to differentiate between used goods and waste (2b) or by specifying the obligations for exporters (2a). The greatest benefits under this option are identified for the measures 3a‑3d and 3f, dedicated to better addressing illegal shipments of waste within and from and to the EU (objective 3).
            
            
               Under policy option 3 (structural changes), measures 1d, 1e, and 1f directly address stakeholder concerns regarding the costs associated with the delays of intra-EU shipments and would significantly minimise administrative burden for public authorities and economic operators (objective 1). The introduction of measures 2c, 2d and 2e would set up a procedural framework at EU level to guarantee that waste exported from the EU is managed in an environmentally sound manner. It is considered as a proportionate and systemic response to objective 2. Certain changes would not be sufficient and coherent enough to achieve the necessary effect at Member State level. This is in particular the case for the proposed measures 3e and 3g to better address illegal shipments of waste (objective 3).
            
            
               The impact assessment has shown that actions taken under options 2 or 3 would not allow to meet all the objectives of the review in the most effective, efficient and proportionate manner. Compared with these options, policy option 4, which combines measures in a mix of far‑reaching changes, would result in greater effectiveness, in an efficient and proportionate manner.
            
            
               The preferred option is therefore option 4. The blend of the targeted and structural changes chosen would result in a balanced approach in terms of effectiveness (achievement of the objectives) and efficiency (cost-effectiveness). It aims to ensure that this Regulation can facilitate intra‑EU shipments in line with the circular economy objectives, support the EU’s objective to stop exporting its waste challenges to third countries, and contribute to better addressing illegal shipments of waste, without risking excessive costs or disruption. It responds to both (i) the need for new, effective measures to achieve the three objectives, and (ii) the importance attached to them being implementable while not creating excessive burden or undesirable impacts.
            
            
               Option 4 is also proportionate to the aims that this review seeks to achieve.
            
            
               ·With respect to objective 1 on intra-EU shipments of waste, all measures under option 4 are necessary to achieve a better integration of the EU internal market for waste, guiding these shipments to recycling. They will represent important changes for the procedures currently applicable to shipments, which will have an effect both on economic operators and on public administrations. These measures will generate important gains for both of them, through reduced administrative burden, reduced delays, and more efficient processing of information. They will also contribute to supporting the transition to a circular economy in the EU, therefore benefiting the protection of the environment. These gains will largely outweigh the costs linked to the establishment of the new measures, notably the electronic data interchange regime (measure 1d)
                  22
               . The obligation to digitalise the notification procedure for intra-EU shipments of waste via the electronic data interchange system will only become effective 24 months after the entry into force of the revised WSR, and preparatory work with Member States and stakeholders is already ongoing to get ready for this new regime.
            
            
               ·With respect to the second objective, option 4 will lead to important changes in EU approaches and the regulatory framework applying to the export of waste from the EU. This is needed in view of the failure of the current WSR to achieve the objective to ensure environmentally sound management of waste exported from the EU, especially to developing countries. One important feature of option 4 is that it will require both economic operators and public authorities to take concrete actions to verify that waste exported from the EU is treated in a sustainable manner in the countries of destination. This will ensure that guarantees are provided both at country (measures 2c and 2e) and facility (measure 2a) level on the sustainable treatment of waste in the countries of destination. These measures should generate important environmental benefits. They will also have economic impacts. For some operators, notably those processing waste into secondary materials in the EU, this would potentially lead to higher quantities of feedstock available at a lower price, so this would have a positive impact overall. For those operators shipping waste from the EU, the impact will depend on whether evidence is made available that the exported waste in the destination countries is treated in an environmentally sound manner. It is likely that, as a result, the export to some countries might become more difficult, which would have a negative impact on the companies exporting waste to these countries. The costs resulting from this situation are however limited and are outweighed by the overall environmental benefits of the measures. Finally, it is also important to note that proportionality is ensured through the fact that the measures in option 4 would:
            
            
               –apply a different regime between countries of destination, with more scrutiny over countries where the waste management practices are deemed to be less sustainable than in the EU (non-OECD countries);
            
            
               –set up a mechanism, without any blanket ban, where importing countries have the opportunity to import waste from the EU if they demonstrate they are able to deal with the waste in a sustainable manner; and
            
            
               –enter into force only 3 years after the changes in the Regulation become effective, leaving a period of transition for all involved to get prepared for the new rules.
            
            
               ·As to the third objective, option 4 provides a series of measures to improve enforcement of the WSR. They are needed to increase the capabilities of Member States and the Commission to reduce illegal shipments of waste. These measures do not involve any fundamentally new tasks or additional related costs for operators and Member States. A more effective enforcement regime would help to prevent or reduce the volume of illegal shipments and to deliver significant cost savings for clean-up and repatriation, and indirect cost savings for Member States where waste transits. Better enforcement should also lead to a reduced loss of tax revenues. Furthermore, beyond the proposed measures, the Commission will use a wide array of tools to continue to support Member State efforts to better implement and enforce the WSR. Many initiatives have already been taken at EU level against waste trafficking, which is one of the priorities of the EU’s overall policy on organised crime
                  23
               . The EU is also providing financial support to operational projects targeting waste trafficking
                  24
               . In addition, the Commission is assisting Member States in this area through the Environmental Compliance and Governance Forum
                  25
               , the TAIEX-EIR PEER 2 PEER programme
                  26
                and the EU Environmental Law Training Package
                  27
               .
            
            
            
               Figure 1 below provides a schematic overview of the preferred option, and the measures that it contains. A more detailed description of how the preferred option achieves the objectives of the WSR review is presented in Annex 14 of the impact assessment report.
            
            
               
                  
            
            
               Figure 1 – Overview of measures in the preferred option
            
            
               In terms of overall economic impact, this preferred option should result in significant savings for operators shipping waste and for authorities dealing with the procedures for authorising and monitoring these shipments, notably thanks to the establishment of the electronic data interchange system. This is expected to deliver savings in the order of EUR 1.4 million a year. Other measures to modernise and simplify the WSR will bring additional savings. The other important economic impacts will come from the measures linked to the export of waste, which should represent an overall economic gain for the EU economy, based on 2019 data, ranging from EUR 200-500 million a year, depending on the amount of waste that is retained in the EU. For economic operators based in the EU, the impacts of these measures will differ significantly depending on their position in the value chain and the types of waste concerned. Some of those involved in exporting these wastes are likely to see the costs for exporting such waste increasing, or they would turn to other purchasers in the EU, where they might get lower prices for their waste. Companies exporting waste would also have to set up (or purchase) auditing schemes to verify that facilities in third countries perform waste management activities in a sustainable manner; this would represent new but moderate costs. On the other hand, economic operators recycling or processing waste in the EU may be able to use more waste as feedstock, which they should be able to purchase at a lower price compared with the baseline. The measures on illegal shipments should benefit legal operators as they will help to tackle illegal activities; these represent a direct competition to the business of legal operators. For companies located in third countries which transport and process waste imported from the EU, the effect would be positive for those performing their activities in an environmentally sound manner, as the audit would consolidate their activities and competitiveness, even though it could also incur some costs for upgrading their infrastructure and standards in the short term. The impact would be negative for those companies which are not able to comply with the criteria for environmentally sound management of waste laid out in the auditing schemes as they would lose customers from the EU.
            
            
               SMEs will benefit greatly from the measures designed to facilitate shipments of waste within the EU. The obstacles and burdens linked to the shortcomings of current procedures represent proportionally a heavier burden for them than for larger companies. The measures on the export of waste will affect SMEs involved in export-related business activities. They will incur new costs to perform audits in facilities to which they are shipping their waste. These costs, however, remain limited and could be pooled with other SMEs, notably through Producer Responsibility Organisations
                  28
               . Finally, the perspective that more waste will remain in the EU, together with new targets and obligations under EU law to ensure its recycling, will also represent opportunities for SMEs to develop innovative projects and technologies for recycling waste whose treatment poses particular challenges, such as plastic and textile waste.
            
            
               This preferred option is expected to result in an overall significant positive environmental impact. The measures designed to facilitate the shipment of waste for re-use and recycling in the EU will lead to higher amount of waste treated in better environmental conditions. They would also lead to higher amounts of secondary materials available in the EU, which would replace virgin materials as feedstock for a number of industries based in the EU. The proposed measures relating to the export of waste would have positive environmental impacts as they would better guarantee that shipments of waste to third countries are managed in an environmentally sound manner. It would also potentially lead to between 2.4 and 6 million tonnes of waste being retained in the EU each year, which would be treated according to EU standards and processed into secondary materials. While it is not possible to perform a monetised impact of all these environmental gains, the benefits linked to a better treatment of residual waste in the EU and to avoiding shipping this waste to third countries would range from EUR 266‑666 million a year. The overall gains are likely to be even higher. By contributing to improving the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the enforcement regime, the measures relating to illegal shipments would help prevent and reduce the serious environmental impacts stemming from illegal waste shipments, bringing overall environmental benefits.
            
         
         
            
               Finally, as regards the overall social impact, the measures linked to the export of waste, and to those against illegal shipments of waste, should reduce the negative impact on human health (e.g. respiratory problems, injuries) and labour conditions (e.g. no social benefits, low wages) stemming from the unsustainable management of waste, bringing overall benefits to society both abroad and in the EU. The treatment in the EU of waste that used to be exported should lead to the creation of 9 000‑23 000 jobs in EU recycling and re-use sectors. Additional jobs in these areas are likely to be generated as a result of the measures designed to ensure a better functioning of the WSR for shipments of waste in the EU for recycling and re-use. In third countries there might be job losses in the formal or informal waste treatment sectors in case less waste is exported to that country.
            
            
            
               •Regulatory fitness and simplification
            
            
               This proposal makes maximum use of the potential of digitalisation to reduce administrative costs. This is the case especially for the proposal to set up a mandatory EU-wide system to issue and interchange electronically data and information linked to waste shipments. The development of such a system that combines existing national platforms and/or platforms in place, like the environment established under Regulation (EU) No 2020/1056 on electronic freight transport information with a system at EU level is not expected to entail very high costs for the Commission, Member States or businesses. It will, however, provide Member State authorities and the Commission with a powerful tool for monitoring and enforcing, as well as an efficient tool for businesses to comply with the obligations in the proposed regulation.
            
            
            
               •Fundamental rights
            
            
               The proposal does not have consequences for the protection of fundamental rights.
            
            
                
            
            
               4.BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS
            
            
               The proposal implies the use of human resources and expenditure to ensure the proper implementation of some its provisions. Some of the human resource needs are expected to be sourced from the Commission’s existing allocations. The required Commission human resources will be DG ENV staff already assigned to management of the action. Redeployment within the DG, or from other DGs that are able to free themselves from current tasks related to implementation of the Regulation in force, could also contribute to managing the action. An additional allocation would have to be granted to the managing DG and to the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) under the annual allocation procedure and subject to budgetary constraints.
            
            
               The proposal includes several articles that detail further work streams that will need to be carried out to implement the Regulation and that would need to be adopted through implementing/ or delegated acts in the years following entry into force. These will cover the development of harmonised rules on classification of waste, on calculation of financial guarantees, the assessment of third countries’ notifications to receive EU waste exports, and coordination work as regards the enforcement of the Regulation. A detailed list of these envisaged actions is provided below.
            
            
               ·Establishment of a harmonised calculation method for financial guarantees or equivalent insurance;
            
            
               ·Examine and establish harmonised contamination threshold levels to classify certain wastes as green-listed or not.
            
            
               ·Examine and establish criteria to distinguish between used goods and waste for certain objects or substances;
            
            
               ·Establish and maintain a new framework for the export of green-listed waste from the EU to a non-OECD country, especially the establishment and updating of a list of countries to which the export of such waste is authorised.
            
            
               ·Monitor the export of waste to OECD countries and mitigate environmental problems that might be caused by such exports.
            
            
               ·Organise and facilitate the work of a dedicated group at EU level with the task to facilitate and improve cooperation on enforcement of the WSR (‘waste enforcement group’).
            
            
               The Commission through OLAF will play a specific role in complementing the work of Member States in enforcing the provisions of this Regulation in complex cross-border cases and would engage in:
            
            
               ·conducting inspection of premises/boats/shipments of economic operators;
            
            
               ·collection of information/intelligence from a wide range of sources;
            
         
         
            
               ·analytical work (use of customs and specialised databases and dedicated tools);
            
            
               ·forensics acquisition;
            
            
               ·coordination with law enforcement agencies, market surveillance authorities and judicial authorities;
            
            
               ·cooperation with third countries (through mutual assistance agreements or administrative cooperation agreements); and
            
            
               ·cooperation with other EU agencies (EPPO, Europol, Eurojust, Frontex…)
            
            
               For the development of the central system for electronic information exchange on waste shipments, work has been carried out internally in DG ENV, but will need to be extended in relation to development and maintenance of a central system for data exchange for waste shipment purposes. The existing IMSOC
                  29
                platform will be used as a basis.
            
            
               The European Commission will be responsible for general implementation of this Regulation and the adoption of all implementing and delegated acts envisaged by the Regulation. This will require the normal decision‑making processes including stakeholder consultation and committee procedures. The current financial estimates are based on:
            
            
               ·For ENV: 1 extra FTE AD post supported by 1.5 FTE contractual agents, as well as operational costs (e.g. study, external consultancy, meetings,…), envisaged for general implementation of the Regulation and the necessary preparatory work and drafting of secondary legislation in line with the deadlines proposed in the Waste Shipment Regulation. This amounts to a total cost of EUR 4 137 000 for the period 2024-2027, based on the latest update of the cost of Commission staff as reported on the DG BUDG website:

               .
            
            
               ·For OLAF: 1 extra FTE AD post, envisaged for the implementation of the relevant enforcement‑related provisions in the Regulation. This amounts to a total cost of EUR 456 000 for the period 2024-2026, based on the latest update of the cost of Commission staff as reported on the DG BUDG website:

               5.OTHER ELEMENTS
            
            
               •Implementation plans and monitoring, evaluation and reporting arrangements
            
            
               The new Regulation should result in an increase in waste materials reused and recycled in the EU, an improvement in standards and practices for waste management in countries importing waste from the EU and a reduction of illegal waste shipments both within the EU and between third countries and the EU. It should also contribute to building robust and dynamic markets for secondary materials and increasing the transition to a circular economy in the EU and third countries. 
            
            
               In terms of monitoring, potential problems with compliance and enforcement would be monitored through the Member States’ regular implementation reports and progress reports drawn up by the Commission based on these Member States’ reports. 
            
            
               In this respect, it is noted that a key measure to improve the efficiency of the implementation of this Regulation is the establishment of an EU wide system to interchange documents and information electronically (electronic data interchange or “EDI”). This should allow for all involved actors to have better access to many data that are of relevance for the implementation of Regulation. Notably competent authorities will have a much more comprehensive and consistent data set to monitor waste streams, both within and from and to the EU, and also monitoring of waste flows within, and to and from the EU will improve. The EDI system should ensure that structured data are interchanged, which means extractions can be consistently done by Member State competent authorities and the Commission. This should improve the quality of reporting considerably and hence allow to better monitor how successfully the Regulation is being implemented. 
            
            
               Furthermore, the new provision concerning the review of Member States’ inspection plans by the Commission would also be an important source of information for monitoring the implementation and enforcement of the Regulation. 
            
            
               Additionally, compliance and enforcement issues would be monitored and discussed in the context of the new Waste Shipment Enforcement Group, which could also identify further actions and measures to be undertaken at the EU level to increase the effectiveness of the Regulation in the future. 
            
            
               Finally, the Regulation would be reviewed within 10 years of its entry into force to ensure that its objectives are being met and that its provisions remain justified.

These rules should also contribute to the facilitation of environmentally sound management of waste, in accordance with the waste hierarchy laid down in Article 4 of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  31
               , as well as to the reduction of overall impacts of resource use and to the improvement of the efficiency of such use, which is crucial for the transition to a circular economy.  
            
            
               (2)Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  32
                has, over the past fifteen years, brought about important improvements to protect the environment and human health against the adverse impacts which may result from the shipment of waste. However, the Commission’s evaluation
                  33
                of that Regulation has also revealed a number of challenges and shortcomings, which need to be addressed through new regulatory provisions.   
            
            
               (3)The European Green Deal
                  34
                sets out an ambitious roadmap to transform the Union into a sustainable, resource efficient and climate neutral economy. It calls on the Commission to review the Union rules on waste shipments established under Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006. The New Circular Economy Action Plan
                  35
                adopted in March 2020 further stresses the need for action to ensure that shipments of waste for re-use and recycling in the Union are facilitated, that the Union does not export its waste challenges to third countries and that illegal waste shipments are better addressed. In addition to the environmental and social benefits, this can also result in ameliorating EU’s strategic dependencies on raw materials. Both the Council
                  36
                and the European Parliament
                  37
                have also called for a revision of the current Union rules on waste shipments established under Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006.  
            
            
               (4)Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 has already been amended on several occasions and requires further significant amendments to ensure that the policy objectives of the European Green Deal and the New Circular Economy Action Plan are met. Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 should therefore be replaced by a new Regulation. 
            
            
               (5)This Regulation supplements the general waste management legislation of the Union, such as Directive 2008/98/EC. It refers to the definitions in that Directive, including, the definitions of waste and general waste management operations. It also includes a number of additional definitions in order to facilitate uniform application of this Regulation. 
            
            
               (6)This Regulation implements at Union level the Basel Convention of 22 March 1989 on the control of transboundary movements of hazardous wastes and their disposal
                  38
                (‘the Basel Convention’). The Basel Convention aims to protect human health and the environment against the adverse effects resulting from the generation, transboundary movements and management of hazardous wastes and other wastes. The Union has been a Party to the Basel Convention since 1994
                  39
               . 
            
            
               (7)This Regulation also implements at Union level an amendment to the Basel Convention
                  40
                (the Ban Amendment) which was adopted in 1995 and entered into force at the international level on 5 December 2019. The Ban Amendment establishes a general prohibition on all exports of hazardous waste that are intended for final disposal, re-use, recycling and recovery from countries listed in Annex VII to the Basel Convention to all other countries. The Union has ratified the Ban Amendment and implemented it since 1997
                  41
               .
            
            
               (8)The Union submitted in October 2020 a notification, covering shipment of waste within the Union, to the Secretariat of the Basel Convention under Article 11 of that Convention. In line with that Article, the Union might therefore set out specific rules applying to the intra-EU shipments of waste which are not less environmentally sound than those provided for by the Basel Convention.
            
            
               (9)In view of the fact that the Union has approved the Decision of the OECD Council of 30 March 1992 on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Wastes Destined for Recovery Operations
                  42
                (‘the OECD Decision’), it is necessary to incorporate the content of that Decision, including its amendments, in Union legislation.
            
            
               (10)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 ensures a uniform application of rules on waste shipments throughout the Union.
            
            
               (11)It is necessary to avoid duplication with applicable Union legislation on the transport of certain materials that could classify as waste under this Regulation.
            
            
               (12)Shipments of waste generated by armed forces or relief organisations should be excluded from the scope of this Regulation when imported into the Union in certain situations (including transit within the Union when the waste enters the Union). 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 Union should be informed in advance concerning the shipment and its destination.
            
         
         
            
               (13)It is necessary to avoid duplication with Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  43
               , which already contains provisions covering 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 Union. 
            
            
               (14)Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  44
                applies to large commercial ships flying the flag of a Member State of the Union, which were excluded from the scope of application of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006. However, following the recent international entry into force of the Ban Amendment, it is necessary to ensure that the ships covered by the scope of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 which become waste in the Union are made subject to the relevant Union waste shipment rules implementing the Ban Amendment, in order to ensure strict legal compatibility of the Union’s legal regime with international obligations. At the same time, it is also necessary to amend Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 to clarify that ships falling within the scope of that Regulation and which become waste in the Union shall only be recycled at those facilities included in the European List of ship recycling facilities established under that Regulation, which are located in countries listed in Annex VII to the Basel Convention.
            
            
               (15)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 Union system in order to ensure a high level of protection of the environment and human health.
            
            
               (16)In the case of shipments of waste not listed in Annex III, Annex IIIA or Annex IIIB of this Regulation and destined for recovery operations, it is appropriate to ensure optimal 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 shipments.
            
            
               (17)In order to support the implementation of the provisions in Directive 2008/98/EC designed to increase the separate collection of waste and reduce the generation of mixed municipal waste, shipments of mixed municipal waste to another Member State should be subject to particular scrutiny. Furthermore, in order to support the achievements of targets to increase recycling and reduce disposal of waste set out in Directive 2008/98/EC and Council Directive 1999/31/EC
                  45
               , shipments of waste for disposal in another Member State should be generally prohibited. Shipments of waste for disposal should be allowed only in exceptional cases. In those cases, Member States should take into account the principles of proximity and self-sufficiency at Union and national levels, in accordance with Directive 2008/98/EC, and in particular Article 16 of that Directive, as well as the priority for recovery. Member States should also be able to ensure that the waste management facilities covered by Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  46
                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 human health and environmental protection requirements in relation to disposal operations established in Union legislation.
            
            
               (18)In the case of shipments of waste listed in Annex III, Annex IIIA or Annex IIIB of this Regulation 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 on the persons and countries involved in the shipments, the description and quantities of the waste concerned, the type of recovery operation for which the waste is shipped and the details of the facilities which will recover the waste. 
            
            
               (19)It is necessary to set the grounds for Member States to object to shipments of waste destined for recovery. In the case of such shipments, Member States should be able to ensure that the waste management facilities covered by Directive 2010/75/EU apply best available techniques as set out 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 human health and environmental protection requirements in relation to recovery operations established in Union legislation and that, taking account of Article 16 of Directive 2008/98/EC, waste is treated in accordance with waste management plans established pursuant to that Directive with the purpose of ensuring the implementation of legally binding recovery or recycling obligations established in Union legislation.
            
            
               (20)It is necessary to provide for procedural steps and safeguards, when a notifier wishes to ship waste subject to the procedure of prior written notification and consent, in the interests of legal certainty and to ensure uniform application of this Regulation and the proper functioning of the internal market. It is also necessary, in line with Article 6(11) of the Basel Convention, to ensure that the costs arising from situations where the shipment of waste subject to the prior written notification and consent cannot be completed or is illegal, are borne by the relevant operators. To this end, the notifier should establish a financial guarantee or equivalent insurance for each shipment of such waste. 
            
            
               (21)In order to reduce the administrative burden for both public and private operators involved in shipments to facilities recognised as ‘pre-consented’, it is necessary to set out the conditions under which the status of ‘pre-consented’ can be granted, to ensure their mutual recognition by all Member States and harmonise the requirements for shipping waste to these facilities.
            
            
               (22)In order to reduce delays in the processing of notifications for the shipment of waste and facilitate the exchange of information between the relevant authorities, it is necessary that the issuance and exchange of information and data, which relates to individual shipments of waste within the Union, be made via electronic means. It is also necessary to empower the Commission to lay out the procedural and operational requirements for the practical implementation of the systems ensuring this electronic submission and exchange of information (such as interconnectivity, architecture and security). It is also necessary to provide sufficient time for competent authorities in the Member States and economic operators to prepare for the shift from a paper based approach, as laid down in Regulation (EC) 1013/2006, to an approach to exchange information and documents electronically. This new obligation should therefore become applicable 24 months after the date of application of this Regulation.  
            
            
               (23)Economic operators involved in the transport of waste should be allowed to use the environment as established in Regulation (EU) No 2020/1056 of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  47
                for the exchange of the information required under this Regulation during the transport of the waste, and interoperability of the systems provided for in this Regulation and the environment for the exchange of electronic freight transport information should be ensured.
            
            
               (24)In order to facilitate the work carried out by customs in the implementation of this Regulation, it is necessary that the central system operated by the Commission that allows for the electronic submission and exchange of information and documents becomes interoperable with the European Union Single Window Environment for Customs, currently being developed at the Union level
                  48
               , when all required technical work to ensure this operability is completed.
            
            
               (25)Competent authorities in third countries should be able to issue and exchange the information and documents for the procedural requirements under this Regulation, via electronic means through the system operated at the Union level, if they so wish and if they comply with the requirements to exchange data via this system. 
            
            
               (26)In order to ensure traceability of shipments of waste and not to impair the environmentally sound management of waste shipped across borders, it should be prohibited to mix waste with other waste from the start of the shipment to the receipt of the waste in recovery or disposal operation. 
            
            
               (27)To facilitate the enforcement of the obligations laid down in this Regulation, it is important that economic operators and competent authorities keep documents and information required for the shipment of waste for a minimum period of five years from the date when a shipments starts.
            
            
               (28)Member States should be required to ensure that, in accordance with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters of 25 June 1998 (Aarhus Convention)
                  49
               , the relevant competent authorities make publicly available by appropriate means information on notifications of shipments they have consented to, as well as on shipments of waste subject to the general information requirements of this Regulation, where such information is not confidential under national or Union legislation.
            
            
               (29)In order to implement the requirements set out in Article 9(2), (3) and (4) of the Basel Convention, 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. It should also be 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, and to bear the costs arising from the take-back operations. Failing that, the competent authorities of dispatch or destination, as appropriate, should cooperate to ensure the environmentally sound management of the waste concerned.
            
            
               (30)With a view to ensuring that competent authorities are able to correctly process the documents submitted to them relating to the shipment of waste, it is necessary to lay out an obligation for the notifier to provide an authorised translation of these documents in a language acceptable to these authorities, if they so request.
            
            
               (31)In order to avoid disruptions of shipments of waste or goods, due to a disagreement between competent authorities on the status of these waste or goods, it is necessary to set out a procedure to resolve such disagreements. It is important in that regard that competent authorities base their decisions on the provisions relating to the determination of by-products and to the end-of-waste status of Directive 2008/98/EC. It is also necessary to lay out a procedure to resolve disagreements between competent authorities as to whether waste should be subject or not to the notification procedure. To ensure a better harmonisation across the Union of the conditions under which waste should be subject to the notification procedure, the Commission should also be empowered to adopt implementing acts establishing criteria for the classification of specific waste in the relevant Annexes to this Regulation, which will determine whether or not it is subject to the notification procedure. In addition, in order to avoid that waste are falsely declared as used goods and to provide legal clarity, the Commission should be empowered to adopt implementing acts establishing criteria to distinguish between used goods and waste, for specific commodities for which such distinction is important, especially for their export from the Union. 
            
            
               (32)To allow administrations to limit public expenditures linked to the handling of procedures for the shipment of waste and to the enforcement of this Regulation, it is necessary to foresee the possibility that appropriate and proportionate administrative costs linked to these procedures, as well as to supervision, analyses and inspections, be charged to the notifier. 
            
         
         
            
               (33)In order to reduce administrative burdens and in exceptional circumstances, linked to specific geographical or demographical situations, Member States may conclude bilateral agreements making the notification procedure for shipments of specific flows of waste less stringent in respect of cross-border shipments to the nearest suitable facility located in the border area between the two Member States concerned. It should also be possible for a Member State to conclude such agreements with a country that is party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, as well in a situation where waste is shipped from and treated in the country of dispatch but transits through another Member State.
            
            
               (34)It is necessary, in order to protect the environment of the countries concerned, to clarify the scope of the prohibition of exports laid down in accordance with the Basel Convention from the Union of any waste destined for disposal in a third country other than an EFTA (European Free Trade Association) country. 
            
            
               (35)Countries that are Parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area may adopt the control procedures provided for shipments within the Union. In such cases, shipments between the Union and these countries should be subject to the same rules as shipments within the Union. 
            
            
               (36)To protect the environment of the countries concerned, it is necessary to clarify the scope of the prohibition of exports of hazardous waste destined for recovery in third countries to which the OECD Decision does not apply, 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, residues from the incineration of household waste and hard-to-recycle plastic waste.
            
            
               (37)It is necessary to establish strict rules concerning the export for recovery of non-hazardous waste to third countries to which the OECD Decision does not apply, in order to ensure that this waste does not create damages to environment and public health in these countries. Under these rules, export from the Union should be allowed only to countries included in a list drawn up and to be updated by the Commission, when these countries have submitted a request to the Commission stating their willingness to receive certain non-hazardous waste from the Union and demonstrating their ability to manage such waste in an environmentally sound manner, on the basis of criteria laid down in this Regulation. Exports to countries other than those included in that list should be prohibited. To ensure sufficient time for the transition to this new regime, a transitional period of three years after the general date of application of this Regulation should be foreseen.
            
            
               (38)Countries to which the OECD decision applies are subject to the rules and recommendations laid down by the OECD on the shipment and management of waste, and have generally higher standards for the management of waste than countries to which the OECD decision does not apply. It is however important that the export from the Union of non-hazardous waste for recovery does not create damages to environment and public health in countries to which the OECD decision applies. It is therefore necessary to establish a mechanism to monitor shipments of non-hazardous waste to such countries. In cases where the export of non-hazardous waste from the Union to the country concerned has considerably increased within a short period of time and there is a lack of information available demonstrating the ability of the country concerned to recover this waste in an environmentally sound manner, the Commission should enter into a dialogue with the country concerned and, if the information is not sufficient to prove that the waste is recovered in an environmentally sound manner, be empowered to suspend such exports. 
            
            
               (39)The necessary steps should be taken to ensure that, in accordance with Directive 2008/98/EC and other Union legislation on waste, waste shipped within the Union and waste imported into the Union 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.  It is also necessary to ensure that waste exported from the Union is managed in an environmentally sound manner throughout the period of shipment and including recovery or disposal in the third country of destination. To this end, an obligation should be introduced for exporters of waste to ensure that the facility which receives the waste in the third country of destination is made subject to an independent third party audit, prior to exporting waste to the facility in question. The purpose of this audit is to verify compliance of the facility in question with specific criteria laid down in this Regulation, designed to ensure that the waste will be managed in an environmentally sound manner. Where such audit concludes that the criteria laid down in this Regulation is not fulfilled by the facility in question, the exporter should not be entitled to export waste to this facility. This obligation should apply with regard to facilities located in all third countries, including those that are member of the OECD. The OECD Decision states that waste exported to another OECD country “shall be destined for recovery operations within a recovery facility which will recover the wastes in an environmentally sound manner according to national laws, regulations and practices to which the facility is subject”. The OECD Decision does not contain any element or criterion specifying how to implement this requirement as regards the “environmentally sound management” of waste. In the absence of common criteria defining the conditions under which waste shall be recovered in the relevant facilities, it is necessary to address the risk that waste exported from the EU to countries belonging to the OECD is mismanaged in specific facilities, and hence facilities located in these countries should be subject to the audit requirements foreseen in this Regulation.
            
            
               (40)Considering 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, imports into the Union of waste for disposal should be permitted where the exporting country is a Party to that Convention. Imports into the Union 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, imports should be allowed only if the exporting country is bound by a bilateral or multilateral agreement or arrangement compatible with Union legislation and in accordance with Article 11 of the Basel Convention, except when this is not possible during situations of crisis, peacemaking, peacekeeping or war.
            
            
               (41)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 2013/755/EU
                  50
               .
            
            
               (42)In the specific cases of shipments taking place within the Union with transit via third countries, specific provisions pertaining to the consent procedure by third countries should apply. It is also necessary to adopt specific provisions pertaining to the procedures applying to the transit of waste through the Union from and to third countries.
            
            
               (43)For environmental reasons and in view of the particular status of the Antarctic, this Regulation shall explicitly prohibit the export of waste to this territory. 
            
            
               (44)To ensure harmonised implementation and enforcement of this Regulation, it is necessary to lay out obligations for Member States to carry out inspections of the shipments of waste. Adequate planning of inspections of shipments of waste is also necessary to establish the capacity needed for inspections and to effectively prevent illegal shipments. Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 required Member States to ensure that inspection plans for waste shipments be established by 1 January 2017. To facilitate more consistent application of the provisions related to inspection plans and to ensure harmonised approach for inspections across the Union, Member States should notify their inspection plans to the Commission, which should be tasked to review these plans and, where appropriate, issue recommendations for improvements.
            
            
               (45)Diverging rules exist in the Member States as regards the power of, and possibility for, authorities involved in inspections in Member States to require evidence to ascertain the legality of shipments. Such evidence could concern, inter alia, whether the substance or object is waste, whether the waste has been correctly classified, and whether the waste will be shipped to facilities managing waste in an environmentally sound manner in accordance with this Regulation. This Regulation should therefore provide the possibility for authorities involved in inspections in Member States to require such evidence. Such evidence may be requested on the basis of general provisions or on a case-by-case basis. Where such evidence is not made available or is considered to be insufficient, the carriage of the substance or object concerned, or the shipment of waste concerned should be considered as an illegal shipment and should be dealt with in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Regulation. 
            
            
               (46)Member States should lay down rules on administrative penalties applicable to infringements of this Regulation and ensure that those rules are enforced. The penalties provided for should be effective, proportionate and dissuasive. The evaluation of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 found that one of the shortcomings is that national rules on penalties differ significantly across the Union. Therefore, to facilitate more consistent application of penalties, common non-exhaustive criteria should be established for determining the types and levels of penalties to be imposed in case of infringements of this Regulation. These criteria should include, inter alia, the nature and gravity of the infringement and the economic benefits derived from and the environmental damage caused by the infringement, insofar as these can be determined. Furthermore, in addition to the administrative penalties required under this Regulation, Member States should ensure that illegal shipment of waste constitutes a criminal offence in serious cases, in accordance with the provisions laid down in Directive 2008/99/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008
                  51
               .
            
            
               (47)Experience with the application of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 showed that the involvement of multiple actors at the national level creates challenges to coordination and cooperation in relation to enforcement. Therefore, Member States should ensure that all relevant authorities involved in enforcement of this Regulation have effective mechanisms to enable them to cooperate and coordinate domestically concerning the development and implementation of enforcement policies and activities to address illegal shipments of waste, including for the establishment and implementation of the inspection plans.
            
            
               (48)It is necessary for Member States to cooperate, bilaterally and multilaterally, with one another in order to facilitate the prevention and detection of illegal shipments of waste. To further improve coordination and cooperation across the Union, a dedicated enforcement group should be established with the participation of designated representatives of the Member States and of the Commission, as well as representatives of other relevant institutions, bodies, offices, agencies or networks. This enforcement group should meet regularly. It should be a forum, inter alia, for sharing information and intelligence on trends in illegal shipments and for exchanging views on enforcement activities, including best practices. 
            
            
               (49)To support and complement the enforcement activities of the Member States, the Commission should be empowered to carry out investigative and coordinating actions in respect of illegal shipments, which might have serious adverse effects on human health or the environment. In carrying out these activities, the Commission should act in full respect of procedural guarantees. The Commission may consider, as a matter of its internal organisation, entrusting certain enforcement actions foreseen by this Regulation to the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), which possesses relevant expertise in that regard. 
            
            
               (50)Member States should provide the Commission with information concerning the implementation of this Regulation, both through the reports submitted to the Secretariat of the Basel Convention and on the basis of a separate questionnaire. The Commission should produce a report every four years on the implementation of this Regulation, based on the information provided by the Member States as well as on other information, gathered in particular through ad hoc reports by the Commission and the European Environment Agency on the shipments of plastic waste and other specific waste streams that are a source of concern. 
            
            
               (51)Efficient international cooperation regarding control of shipments of waste is instrumental in ensuring that shipments of waste are controlled and monitored on an appropriate level. Information exchange, shared responsibility and cooperative efforts between the Union and its Member States and third countries should be promoted with a view to ensuring sound management of waste.
            
            
               (52)In order to facilitate the exchange of information and cooperation for the implementation of this Regulation, Member States should designate competent authorities and correspondents and notify them to the Commission, which should make this information publicly available.
            
         
         
            
               (53)Member States should be entitled, for the purpose of ensuring the control of waste shipments, to designate specific customs offices of entry and exit for shipments of waste entering and leaving the Union and notify them to the Commission, which should make this information publicly available.
            
            
               (54)In order to supplement or amend this Regulation, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of Articles 37(13), 40(8) and Article 72 of this Regulation. It is of particular importance that the Commission carries out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making
                  52
               . In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council receive all documents at the same time as Member States’ experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts. 
            
            
               (55)In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission to adopt measures on a harmonised method for calculating the financial guarantee or equivalent insurance, to clarify the classification of waste under this Regulation (including the establishment of contamination level threshold for certain waste) and to clarify for certain types of commodities the distinction between used goods and waste when shipped transboundary. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  53
               .
            
            
               (56)Regulation (EU) 2020/1056 establishes a legal framework for the electronic communication of regulatory information between the economic operators concerned and competent authorities in relation to the transport of goods on the territory of the Union and covers parts of this Regulation in its provisions. In order to ensure consistency between the instruments, it is necessary to amend Regulation (EU) 2020/1056.
            
            
               (57)It is necessary to provide for sufficient time for economic operators to comply with their new obligations under this Regulation, and for Member States and the Commission to set up the administrative infrastructure necessary for its application. The application of several provisions of this Regulation should therefore also be deferred to a date where those preparations can reasonably be finalised. Most provisions of this Regulation will become applicable two months after its entry into force, while the provisions linked to the obligations set out in Article 26 to issue and exchange documents electronically will become applicable two years after this date, and some provisions relating to the export of waste will become applicable three years after this date. In order to avoid any regulatory gap, it is necessary to ensure that some provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 remain in force, until the date when the provisions of this regulation with a delayed application becomes applicable.
            
            
               (58)Since the objectives of this Regulation cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States, but can rather, by reason of the need for harmonization, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on the European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective,
            
            
               HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
            
            
               
            
               Title I

               This Regulation lays down measures to protect the environment and human health by preventing or reducing the adverse impacts which may result from the shipment of waste. It establishes 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.

               3.For imports of waste generated by armed forces or relief organisations in situations of crisis, peacemaking or peacekeeping operations where such waste is shipped, by those armed forces or relief organisations concerned or on their behalf, directly or indirectly to the country of destination, only Article 48(6) shall apply.

               Article 3
                  Definitions

               (a)the planned shipment or recovery would not be in accordance with Directive 2008/98/EC; 
            
            
               (b)the waste concerned will not be treated in accordance with waste management plans or waste prevention programmes drawn up, respectively, pursuant to Articles 28 and 29 of Directive 2008/98/EC;  
            
            
               (c)the planned shipment or recovery would not be in accordance with national legislation relating to environmental protection, public order, public safety or health protection concerning actions taking place in the country of the objecting competent authority; 
            
            
               (d)the planned shipment or recovery would not be in accordance with national legislation in the country of dispatch relating to the recovery of waste, including where the planned shipment would concern waste destined for recovery in a facility which has lower treatment standards for the particular waste than those of the country of dispatch, respecting the need to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market, unless:
            
            
               (i) there is corresponding Union legislation, in particular related to waste, and requirements that are at least as stringent as those laid down in that Union legislation have been introduced in national legislation transposing such Union legislation;
            
            
               (ii) the recovery operation in the country of destination takes place under conditions that are broadly equivalent to those prescribed in the national legislation of the country of dispatch;
            
            
               (iii) the national legislation in the country of dispatch, other than that covered by point (i), has not been notified in accordance with Directive (EU) 2015/1535 of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  60
               , where required by that Directive; 
            
            
               (e)limiting incoming shipments of waste destined for recovery operations other than recycling and preparing for re-use is necessary for a Member State in order to protect its waste management network, where it is established that such shipments would result in domestic waste having to be disposed of or treated in a way that is not consistent with their waste management plans; 
            
         
         
            
               (f)the notifier or the consignee has previously been convicted of illegal shipment or any other illegal act in relation to environmental protection. 
            
            
               (g)the notifier or the facility has repeatedly failed to comply with Articles 15 and 16 in connection with past shipments; 
            
            
               (h)the planned shipment or recovery conflicts with obligations resulting from international conventions concluded by the Member State(s) concerned or by the Union; 
            
            
               (i)the ratio of the recoverable and non-recoverable waste, the estimated value of the materials to be finally recovered or the cost of the recovery and the cost of the disposal of the non-recoverable fraction of the waste do not justify the recovery, having regard to economic or environmental considerations;
            
            
               (j)the waste planned for shipment is destined for disposal and not for recovery; 
            
            
               (k)the waste concerned will not be treated in accordance with legally binding environmental protection standards in relation to recovery operations, or legally binding recovery or recycling obligations established in Union legislation or the waste will be treated in a facility which is covered by Directive 2010/75/EU, but which does not apply best available techniques as defined in Article 3(10) of that Directive. 
            
            
               2.The competent authorities of transit may, within the 30-day time limit referred to in paragraph 1, raise motivated objections to the planned shipment of waste destined for recovery based only on the grounds set out in paragraph 1, points (c), (f), (g) and (h), of this Article.
            
            
               3.Where, within the 30-day time limit referred to in paragraph 1, the competent authorities consider that the problems which gave rise to their objections have been resolved, they shall immediately inform the notifier thereof. 
            
            
               4.Where the problems giving rise to the objections are not resolved within the 30-day time limit referred to in paragraph 1, the notification of the shipment of waste destined for recovery shall cease to be valid. In cases where the notifier still intends to carry out the shipment, a new notification shall be submitted, unless all the competent authorities concerned and the notifier agree otherwise.
            
            
               5.Objections raised by competent authorities on the grounds set out in paragraph 1, points (d) and (e), of this Article shall be reported by Member States to the Commission in accordance with Article 68.
            
            
               6.The competent authority of dispatch shall inform the Commission and the other Member States of the national legislation on which objections raised by competent authorities in accordance with paragraph 1, points (d) and (e), may be based, and shall state to which waste and waste recovery operations those objections apply, before such legislation is invoked as grounds for a motivated objection.

               2.Where, owing to unforeseen circumstances, the same routing cannot be followed for all shipments, the notifier shall inform the competent authorities concerned by the general notification as soon as possible and before the shipments start where the need for modification is already known.
            
            
               Where the routing modification is known before the shipments start and involves competent authorities other than those concerned by the general notification, the general notification may not be used and a new notification shall be submitted in accordance with Article 5.

               Take-back obligations
            
            
               Article 22
               Take-back when a shipment cannot be completed as intended
            
            
               1.Where any of the competent authorities concerned becomes aware that a shipment of waste, including its recovery or disposal, cannot be completed as intended in accordance with the terms of the notification and movement documents and/or contract referred to Article 6, it shall immediately inform the competent authority of dispatch thereof. Where a recovery or disposal facility rejects a shipment received, it shall immediately inform the competent authority of destination.
            
            
               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. The competent authority of dispatch shall identify the notifier following the order indicated in Article 3, point (6). Where that is not possible, that competent authority itself or a natural or legal person on its behalf shall comply with the provisions of this Article.
            
         
         
            
               The take-back referred to in the first subparagraph 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 by the competent authorities of destination or transit that the consented shipment of waste or its recovery or disposal cannot be completed as intended 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.
            
            
               3.The take-back obligation set out in paragraph 2 shall not apply if the competent authorities of dispatch, transit and destination involved 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 that is not possible, by the competent authority of dispatch or by a natural or legal person on its behalf.
            
            
               The take-back obligation set out 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 of this paragraph.
            
            
               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 motivated request by the initial competent authority of dispatch is sufficient.
            
            
               A new notification, where appropriate, shall be submitted by the initial notifier or, if that is not possible, by any other natural or legal persons identified in accordance with Article 3, point (6) following the order indicated in that provision, or, if that is also impossible, by the initial competent authority of dispatch or by a natural or legal person on its behalf.
            
            
               The competent authorities shall not oppose or object to the return of waste from a shipment that cannot be completed or to the related recovery and disposal operation.
            
            
               5.In cases of alternative arrangements outside the initial country of destination as referred to in paragraph 3, a new notification, where appropriate, shall be submitted by the initial notifier or, if that is not possible, by any other natural or legal persons identified in accordance with Article 3, point (6) following the order indicated in that provision,  or, if that is also impossible, 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, it 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 motivated request shall suffice. Such a duly motivated request, seeking agreement to the alternative arrangement, shall be submitted to the competent authority of destination and dispatch by the initial notifier or, if that is not possible, 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 that is not possible, by any other natural or legal persons identified in accordance with Article 3, point (6) following the order indicated in that provision or, if that is also not possible, by the initial competent authority of dispatch or by a natural or legal person on its behalf.
            
            
               Where a new notification is submitted by the initial competent authority of dispatch in accordance with paragraphs 4 or 5, a new financial guarantee or equivalent insurance shall not be required. Subject to the agreement of all competent authorities concerned, the movement document for the initial shipment may be used for the take-back.
            
            
               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 referred to in Article 16(4), or, where appropriate, in Article 15(5). In the case of interim recovery or disposal referred to in Article 7(6), the subsidiary obligation of the country of dispatch shall end when the facility issues the certificate referred to in Article 15(4).
            
            
               Where a facility issues a certificate of recovery or disposal in such a way that it results in an illegal shipment, with the consequence that the financial guarantee is released, Article 24(4) 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.
            
            
               10.Where a notifier specified in Article 3, point (6)(a)(iv), fails to fulfil any of the take-back obligations set out in this Article and Article 23, the original waste producer, the new waste producer or the collector specified in Article 3, points (6)(a)(i), (ii) or (iii), respectively who authorised the dealer or broker to act on its behalf shall be deemed to be the notifier for the purposes of those take-back obligations.

               (d)as otherwise agreed between the competent authorities concerned.
            
            
               2.This Article shall be without prejudice to Union and national provisions concerning liability.

               In cases of take-back as referred to in the first subparagraph, points (a), (b) and (c), a new notification shall be submitted, unless the competent authorities concerned agree that a duly motivated request by the initial competent authority of dispatch is sufficient.
            
            
               The new notification shall be submitted by the person or authority listed in the first subparagraph, points (a), (b) or (c), and in accordance with that order.
            
            
               The competent authorities shall not oppose or object to the return of waste of an illegal shipment. In the case of alternative arrangements as referred to in the first subparagraph, points (d) and (e), by the competent authority of dispatch, a new notification shall be submitted by the initial competent authority of dispatch or by a natural or legal person on its behalf unless the competent authorities concerned agree that a duly motivated request by that authority is sufficient.
            
            
               3.Where a notifier specified in Article 3, point (6)(a)(iv), fails to fulfil any of the take-back obligations set out in this Article and Article 25, the original waste producer, the new waste producer or the collector specified in Article 3, points (6)(a)(i), (ii) or (iii), respectively who authorised that dealer or broker to act on its behalf shall be deemed to be the notifier for the purposes of those take-back obligations. 
            
            
               4.Where the responsibility of an illegal shipment can be imputed to the consignee, the competent authority of destination shall ensure that the waste in question is recovered or disposed of in an environmentally sound manner:
            
            
               (a)by the consignee; or, if that is not possible, in accordance with point (b);
            
            
               (b)by the competent authority itself or by a natural or legal person on its behalf.
            
            
               The recovery or disposal referred to in the first subparagraph shall take place within 30 days, or such other period as may be agreed between the competent authorities concerned after the competent authority of destination becomes aware of or has been advised by the competent authorities of dispatch or transit of the illegal shipment and informed of the reason(s) therefore. Such advice may result from information submitted to the competent authorities of dispatch and transit, inter alia, by other competent authorities.
            
            
               The competent authorities concerned shall cooperate, as necessary, in the recovery or disposal of the waste in accordance with this paragraph.
            
         
         
            
               5.Where no new notification is to be submitted, a new movement document shall be completed in accordance with Articles 15 or 16 by the person responsible for take-back or, if that is not possible, by the initial competent authority of dispatch.
            
            
               Where a new notification is submitted by the initial competent authority of dispatch, a new financial guarantee or equivalent insurance shall not be required.
            
            
               6.In cases where responsibility for the illegal shipment cannot be imputed to either the notifier or the consignee, the competent authorities concerned shall cooperate to ensure that the waste in question is recovered or disposed of.
            
            
               7.In case of interim recovery or disposal referred to in Article 7(6) where an illegal shipment is discovered after completion of the interim recovery operation or interim disposal operation, 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 has issued the certificate referred to in Article 15(4).
            
            
               Where a facility issues a certificate of recovery or disposal in such a way  that it results in an illegal shipment, with the consequence that the financial guarantee is released, paragraph 4 of this Article and Article 25(2) shall apply.
            
            
               8.Where the waste of an illegal shipment 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.
            
            
               9.Articles 34 and 36 shall not apply in cases where illegal shipments are returned to the country of dispatch and that country of dispatch is a country covered by the prohibitions set out in those Articles.
            
            
               10.In the case of an illegal shipment referred to in Article 3, point (25)(g), the person who arranges the shipment shall be subject to the same obligations set out in this Article as the notifier.
            
            
               11.This Article shall be without prejudice to Union and national provisions concerning liability.

               That central system shall also provide for its interoperability with the environment for electronic freight transport information established under Regulation (EU) 2020/1056 of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  61
               .
            
            
               Within four years after adoption of the implementing act referred to in paragraph 4, that central system shall provide for its interoperability with the EU single window environment for customs. 
            
            
               3.Member States may operate their own national systems but shall ensure that those systems are interoperable with the central system referred to in paragraph 2, are operated in accordance with the requirements and rules laid down in the implementing acts adopted by the Commission pursuant to paragraph 4  and exchange information and documents with the central system in real time.

               Article 28
               Disagreement on classification issues
            
            
               1.When deciding whether an object or substance resulting from a production process the primary aim of which is not the production of that object or substance shall be considered to be waste, Member States shall base their decision on the conditions laid down in Article 5 of Directive 2008/98/EC.  
            
            
               When deciding whether waste which has undergone a recycling or other recovery operation shall be considered to have ceased to be waste, Member States shall base their decision on the conditions laid down in Article 6 of Directive 2008/98/EC. 
            
         
         
            
               If the competent authorities of dispatch and of destination cannot agree on the classification as regards the distinction between waste and non-waste, the object or substance shall be treated as if it were waste for the purpose of the shipment. This shall be without prejudice to the right of the country of destination to deal with the shipped material in accordance with its national legislation, following arrival of the shipped material and where such legislation is in accordance with Union or international law.
            
            
               2.If the competent authorities of dispatch and of destination cannot agree on the classification of a waste as being listed in Annex III, Annex IIIA, Annex IIIB or Annex IV, or not listed in any of those Annexes, the shipment of that waste shall be subject to Article 4(1) and (2).
            
            
               3.If the competent authorities of dispatch and of destination cannot agree on the classification of the waste treatment operation notified as being recovery or disposal, the provisions of this Regulation regarding disposal shall apply.
            
            
               4.In order to facilitate the harmonised classification of waste listed in Annex III, Annex IIIA, Annex IIIB or Annex IV in the Union, the Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 76 to supplement this Regulation by establishing criteria, such as contamination thresholds, on the basis of which certain wastes shall be classified in Annex III, IIIA, IIIB or IV. 
            
            
               The Commission is also empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 76 to supplement this Regulation by establishing criteria to distinguish between used goods and waste, for specific categories of commodities for which this distinction is of particular importance for the export of waste from the Union. 
            
            
                  Article 29
               Administrative costs
            
            
               Appropriate and proportionate administrative costs for implementing the notification and supervision procedures and normal costs for appropriate analyses and inspections may be charged by authorities concerned to the notifier.
            
            
               Article 30
               Border-area agreements
            
            
               1.In exceptional cases, and where the specific geographical or demographical situation warrants such a step, Member States may conclude bilateral agreements making the notification procedure for shipments of specific flows of waste less stringent in respect of cross-border shipments to the nearest suitable facility located in the border area between the two Member States concerned.
            
            
               2.The bilateral agreements referred to in paragraph 1 may also be concluded where waste is shipped from and treated in the country of dispatch but transits another Member State.
            
            
               3.Member States may also conclude bilateral agreements referred to in paragraph 1 with countries that are parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
            
            
               4.The agreements referred to in this Article shall be notified to the Commission before they take effect.

               Where a shipment of waste takes place within the Union with transit via one or more third countries, and the waste is destined for disposal, the competent authority of dispatch shall ask the competent authority in those third countries whether they wish to send their written consent to the planned shipment:
            
            
               (a)where the third country is a Party to the Basel Convention, within 60 days, unless it has waived this right in accordance with the terms of that Convention; or
            
            
               (b)where the third country is not a  Party to the Basel Convention, within a period agreed between the competent authorities.

               1.Member States shall establish an appropriate regime for the supervision and control of shipments taking place exclusively within their national jurisdiction. That regime shall take account of the need for coherence with the Union system established by Titles II and VII.
            
            
               2.Member States shall inform the Commission of their regime for supervision and control of shipments of waste. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.

               1.Exports from the Union of the following wastes destined for recovery in countries to which the OECD Decision does not apply are prohibited:
            
            
               (a)wastes listed as hazardous in Part 1 of Annex V to this Regulation;
            
            
               (b)wastes listed as hazardous in the list of waste referred to in Article 7 of Directive 2008/98/EC;
            
            
               (c)wastes listed in Part 2 of Annex V to this Regulation;

               (e)mixtures of hazardous wastes and mixtures of hazardous wastes with non-hazardous wastes not classified under one single entry in Annex V to  this Regulation or  in the list of waste referred to in Article 7 of Directive 2008/98/EC;
            
            
               (f)wastes that the country of destination has notified as hazardous under Article 3 of the Basel Convention;
            
            
               (g)wastes the import of which has been prohibited by the country of destination; 
            
            
               (h)wastes which the competent authority of dispatch has reason to believe will not be managed in an environmentally sound manner as referred to in Article 56, in the country of destination concerned; 
            
            
               (i)waste referred to in Article 4(5). 
            
            
               2.Paragraph 1 shall not apply to waste that is subject to a take-back obligation pursuant to Articles 22 or 24. 
            
            
               3.Member States may, in exceptional cases, provide, on the basis of documentary evidence provided by the notifier, that a specific hazardous waste listed in Annex V to this Regulation or in the list of waste referred to in Article 7 of Directive 2008/98/EC is excluded from the export prohibition referred to in paragraph 1, where it does not display any of the properties listed in Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC, taking into account the criteria and applicable cut-off values and concentration limits for the classification of waste as hazardous as specified that Annex. Where a hazardous property of a waste has been assessed by a test and by using the concentrations of hazardous substances as indicated in Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC, the results of the test shall prevail.
            
            
               4.The fact that waste is not listed as hazardous in Annex V or in the list of waste as referred to in Article 7 of Directive 2008/98/EC, or that it is listed in Part 1, List B of Annex V, shall not preclude, in exceptional cases, characterisation of such waste as hazardous and therefore subject to the export prohibition if it displays any of the properties listed in Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC, taking into account the criteria and applicable cut-off values and concentration limits for the classification of waste as hazardous, specified therein. Where a hazardous property of a waste has been assessed by a test and by using the concentrations of hazardous substances as indicated in Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC, the results of the test shall prevail.
            
            
               5.In the cases referred to in paragraphs 3 and 4, the Member State concerned shall inform the envisaged country of destination prior to taking a decision to consent to planned shipments to that country. Member States shall notify such cases to the Commission before the end of each calendar year. The Commission shall forward that 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, adapt Annex V to this Regulation in accordance with Article 72.

               Article 40
               Assessment of the request for inclusion in the list of countries to which exports are authorised
            
            
               1.The Commission shall assess the requests submitted pursuant to Article 39 without undue delay and, if it is satisfied that the requirements set out in that Article are complied with, it shall include the country making the request in the list of countries to which exports are authorised. The assessment shall be based on the information and supporting evidence provided by the country making the request, as well as other relevant information, and aim to determine if the country making the request has put in place and implements all necessary measures to ensure that the waste concerned will be managed in an environmentally sound manner as referred to in Article 56. In order to perform this assessment, the Commission shall use, as points of reference, the relevant provisions in the legislation and guidance referred to in Annex IX. 
            
            
               2.Where, during the course of its assessment, the Commission considers that the information provided by the country making the request is incomplete or insufficient to demonstrate compliance with the requirements set out in Article 39, it shall give that country an opportunity to provide additional information within a maximum period of three months. That period may be extended by an additional period of three months where the requesting country makes a reasoned request for such extension.
            
            
               3.Where the country making the request  does not provide the additional information within the time limit referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article, or where the provided additional information is still considered to be incomplete or insufficient to demonstrate compliance with the requirements set out in Article 39, the Commission shall inform without undue delay the country making the request  that it cannot be included in the list of countries to which exports are authorised and that its request will no longer be processed. In that case, the Commission shall also inform the country making the request of the reasons for that conclusion. This is without prejudice to the possibility of the country making the request to submit a new request pursuant to Article 39.

               (a)the competent authority of transit of the country to which the OECD Decision does not apply shall have 60 days after the date of transmission of its acknowledgement of receipt of the notification, to provide, where the country concerned has decided not to require prior written consent and has informed the other Parties to the Basel  Convention thereof in accordance with Article 6(4) of that Convention, tacit consent or to give a written consent with or without conditions; 
            
            
               (b)the competent authority of dispatch in the Union shall take the decision to consent to the shipment as referred to in Article 9 only after having received tacit or written consent from the competent authority of transit of the country to which the OECD Decision does not apply, and not earlier than 61 days after the date of transmission of the acknowledgement of receipt of the competent authority of transit, unless the competent authority of dispatch has received the written consent of the other competent authorities concerned, in which case it may take the decision as referred to in Article 9 before that time limit.
            
            
               6.Where waste is exported, it shall be destined for recovery operations within a facility which, under applicable national law, is operating or is authorised to operate in the country of destination.
            
            
               7.Where a customs office of export or a customs office of exit discovers an illegal shipment, it shall without delay inform the competent authority in the country of that customs office thereof. That competent authority shall:

               Article 42
               Monitoring of export and safeguard procedure
            
            
               1.The Commission shall monitor the levels of export of waste from the Union to countries to which the OECD Decision applies, with a view to ensuring that such exports do not lead to serious environmental or human health damages in the country of destination. As part of such monitoring, the Commission shall assess requests from natural or legal persons which are accompanied by relevant information and data showing that export of waste from the Union leads to serious environmental or human health damages in a country to which the OECD Decision applies. 
            
            
               2.In cases where the export of waste from the Union to a country to which the OECD Decision applies has considerably increased within a short period of time, and there is insufficient evidence available demonstrating that the country concerned has the ability to recover this waste in an environmentally sound manner as referred to in Article 56, the Commission shall request the competent authorities of the country concerned to provide, within 60 days, information on the conditions under which the waste in question is recovered and the ability of the country concerned to manage the waste in question. The Commission may grant an extension of this time limit if the country concerned makes a reasoned request for an extension thereof. 
            
            
               3.The request referred to in paragraph 2 shall aim to verify that the country concerned has:
            
            
               (a)put in place and implemented an adequate legal framework for the import and management of the waste concerned, as well as adequate measures to ensure the environmentally sound management of the residual waste generated through the recovery of the waste concerned;
            
            
               (b)sufficient capacity in its territory allowing the waste concerned to be managed in an environmentally sound manner, taking into consideration the increased volume of waste imported into its territory;
            
            
               (c)put in place an adequate strategy to address the possible negative impact of an increase in the import of the waste concerned on the collection and management of the waste generated domestically;
            
            
               (d)put in place and implemented adequate enforcement measures to address possible illegal shipments or treatment of the waste concerned.
            
            
               4.Where, further to the request referred to in paragraph 2, the country concerned does not provide sufficient evidence as referred to in paragraph 3 that the waste is managed in an environmentally sound manner in accordance with Article 56, the Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 76 to supplement this Regulation by prohibiting the export of the waste concerned to this country. 
            
            
               This prohibition shall be lifted by the Commission, when the Commission has sufficient evidence that the waste concerned will be managed in an environmentally sound manner.

               1.A natural or legal person shall only export waste from the Union if it can demonstrate that the facilities which are to receive the waste in the country of destination will manage it in an environmentally sound manner as referred to in Article 56. 
            
            
               2.In order to fulfil the obligation referred to in paragraph 1, a natural or legal person intending to export waste from the Union shall ensure that the facilities which will manage the waste in the country of destination have been subject to an audit by an independent and accredited third party with appropriate qualifications.  
            
            
               3.The audit referred to in paragraph 2 shall verify compliance of the facility concerned with the criteria laid down in Annex X. A legal or natural person shall not export waste to a facility which does not comply with those criteria.
            
            
               4.A natural or legal person intending to export waste shall ensure that the facility which will manage the waste in the country of destination has been subject to an audit referred to in paragraph 2 prior to exporting waste to the facility concerned and that the audit is repeated at regular intervals, following a risk-based approach, with a minimum frequency of every three years after the first audit. 
            
            
               A natural or legal person exporting waste from the Union shall also carry out an ad-hoc audit without delay in case it receives plausible information that a facility no longer complies with the criteria laid down in Annex X.
            
            
               5.A natural or legal person that has commissioned or carried out an audit for a given facility in accordance with paragraph 2 shall ensure that such audit be made available to other natural or legal person intending to export waste to the facility in question, under fair commercial conditions.
            
         
         
            
               6.Upon request by a competent authority or an authority involved in inspections, a natural or legal person shall provide documentary evidence that audits as referred to in paragraph 2 have been carried out in all facilities to which they are exporting the waste in question. Such documentary evidence shall be provided in a language acceptable to the competent authorities concerned.
            
            
               7.Natural or legal persons exporting waste outside the Union shall on a yearly basis make information on how they comply with their obligations under this Article publicly available by electronic means.
            
            
               8.Where an international agreement between the Union and a third country to which the OECD Decision applies recognises that the facilities in that third country will manage waste in an environmentally sound manner, in accordance with the criteria laid down in Annex X, natural and legal persons which intend to export waste to that third country shall be exempted from the obligation in paragraph 2. 
            
            
               9.Upon request by a competent authority or an authority involved in inspections, a natural or legal person that is exempted pursuant to paragraph 8, shall provide documentary evidence of the relevant international agreement as mentioned in that paragraph in a language acceptable to the competent authorities concerned.

               1.Member States shall take all the measures necessary to ensure that legal and natural persons under their national jurisdiction do no export waste in cases where the conditions laid down in Articles 36 to 43 for such export are not met. 
            
            
               2.Member States shall carry out regular verifications, following a risk-based approach, to ensure that natural and legal persons exporting waste from the Union comply with the obligations referred to in Article 43. 
            
            
               Where Member States are in possession of plausible information, which indicates that natural or legal persons exporting waste from the Union are not complying with their obligations under Article 43 they shall carry out the necessary verifications.

               3.An inspection plan shall be reviewed at least every three years and, where appropriate, updated. That review shall evaluate to which extent the objectives and other elements of that inspection plan have been implemented.
            
            
               4.Without prejudice to applicable confidentiality requirements, Member States shall notify the Commission of the inspection plans referred to in paragraph 1 and any substantial revisions thereof every three years, and for the first time one year after the date of entry into force of this Regulation.

               1.4.1.General objective(s)
            
            
               
                  The purpose of this Regulation is to protect the environment and human health against the adverse impacts which may result from the shipment of waste. 
               
               
                  To do so, the Commission proposes provisions to facilitate the environmentally sound management of waste, in accordance with the waste hierarchy and to reduce the overall impacts of using resource, including by improving resource use efficiency. The proposed measures are crucial for the transition to a circular economy.
               
            
            
               1.4.2.Specific objective(s)
            
            
               
                  –Facilitate shipments within the EU, in particular to align the WSR with circular economy objectives.
               
               
                  –Guarantee that waste exported from the EU is managed in an environmentally sound manner.
               
               
                  –Better address illegal shipments of waste within and from and to the EU
               
            
            
               1.4.3.Expected result(s) and impact
            
            
               Specify the effects which the proposal/initiative should have on the beneficiaries/groups targeted.
            
            
               
                  The new regulation should result in more materials and products being reused and in more waste being recycled. It should also improve the standards and practices for waste management in countries importing waste from the EU. Finally, it should lead to a reduction of illegal standards and practices for waste management in countries importing waste from the EU. All of these effects will contribute to building robust and dynamic markets for secondary materials and increasing the transition to a circular economy in the EU and third countries
               
            
            
               1.4.4.Indicators of performance

               1.5.Grounds for the proposal/initiative 
            
            
               1.5.1.Requirement(s) to be met in the short or long term including a detailed timeline for roll-out of the implementation of the initiative
            
            
               
                  The implementation of the Regulation will require that a number of detailed rules are adopted through implementing/delegated acts in a time horizon of 2-5 years from the date of application of the Regulation. In addition, the Commission will need take on a more important role in monitoring the implementation the new regulation, to ensure that its objectives are met.  
               
               
                  The delegated or implementing acts which would need to be adopted to ensure a proper implementation of the Regulation are the following: 
               
               
                  -
                        Detailed procedural and operational requirements to ensure the functioning of the electronic data interchange;
               
               
                  -
                        Develop a harmonised calculation method for financial guarantees;
               
               
                  -
                        Establish contamination thresholds for certain waste streams, in order to clarify their classification as non-hazardous or not;
               
               
                  -
                        Assess the inclusion of new waste streams or mixtures of waste in the “green list”;
               
               
                  -
                        Establish criteria to distinguish for certain objects or materials, between used goods and waste;
               
               
                  -
                        Assessment and listing of third countries that are able as regards their ability to perform Environmentally Sound Management (ESM) of waste;
               
               
                  -
                        Monitor waste exports to OECD countries and take action where necessary to limit such exports, when a risk of harm to the environment due to these shipments is identified.
               
            
            
               1.5.2.Added value of Union involvement (it may result from different factors, e.g. coordination gains, legal certainty, greater effectiveness or complementarities). For the purposes of this point 'added value of Union involvement' is the value resulting from Union intervention which is additional to the value that would have been otherwise created by Member States alone.
            
            
               
                  EU-wide rules on waste shipments ensure that the EU comprehensive waste legislation is not circumvented by shipping waste to third countries, where waste management standards and performance greatly differ from the EU ones. It is important that common rules on the control of transboundary movements of waste are set out at the EU level, to avoid a situation where illegal operators would chose to ship their waste through EU countries with less strict domestic rules than others, to export this waste from the EU (port-hopping scenario). EU rules are also justified for intra-EU shipments of waste, in view of the fact that the EU waste industry is highly integrated and in order to ensure equal treatment and legal clarity to all economic actors in this sector. 
               
               
                  The added-value of an EU approach to waste shipment is also that it ensures consistency in the implementation of the Basel Convention and the OECD Decision by each Member States. The detailed provisions contained in the WSR avoid that Member States develop different interpretations of these provisions, which would hamper the shipments of waste within the EU. 
               
            
            
               1.5.3.Lessons learned from similar experiences in the past
            
            
               
                  This Regulation would build on and improve the functioning of the current Waste Shipment Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006, that itself was built on Council Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 on the supervision and control of shipments of waste within, into and out of the European Community. The Regulation draws notably on the evaluation of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006, which was published by the Commission in January 2020. 
               
            
         
         
            
               1.5.4.Compatibility with the Multiannual Financial Framework and possible synergies with other appropriate instruments
            
            
               
                  The proposed Regulation is a response to the call by the Green Deal, the new Circular Economy Action Plan and the Zero Pollution Action Plan that the Commission should propose an ambitious review of the EU rules on waste shipments. 
               
               
                  The objectives of this regulation are supported by the Multiannual Financial Framework and the Next Generation EU, which both place an important emphasis on funding and investments to support the transition of the European economy to climate-neutral and circular models. This includes investments to modernise waste management, increase capacity for recycling of some waste streams and promote high quality recycling and innovation. 
               
               
                  Circular economy is also embedded in the matrix of the Horizon Europe programme on research, notably its partnership on circularity and is one of the pillars of the Programme for the environment and climate action (LIFE) 2021–2027.
               
            
            
               1.5.5.Assessment of the different available financing options, including scope for redeployment
            
            
               
                  Currently EU exporters are required to follow the control procedure of third countries included in Regulation (EC) 1418/2007, when exporting waste there. This Commission Regulation requires regular updating, which takes up human resources and funds for supportive studies from the Commission. At the moment this subtask of implementing the EU waste shipment rules is carried out by DG Trade. With the proposed Regulation, Commission Regulation (EC) 1418/2007 would be repealed and replaced by new rules, the implementation of which would also require Commission resources. This task is expected to no longer be carried out by DG Trade but by DG ENV and so a transfer of FTE from DG Trade to DG ENV is proposed. Approximately 1 additional FTE in DG ENV would be needed to carry out these new tasks.

               The amount reported above in 09.02.02 will be needed to support various implementation tasks related to the legislative provisions, that will be carried out by DG ENV (with the support of other services). 
            
            
               The procured activities (see list below) include the commissioning of preparatory studies in support of adopting implementing and delegated acts to implement a number of measures in the WSR, namely to harmonise the calculation of financial guarantees, and to clarify the classification of certain waste and the distinction between used good and waste for certain product groups. These activities will intensify in the first two years after adoption of the new Regulation. 
            
            
               Further to the procured activities, there is a need for including ICT support in developing and maintaining the system for electronic data interchange and external experts support to implement the procedure for non-OECD countries to import EU waste. This includes informing non-OECD countries of the new provisions, assessing the notifications from these countries and establish and update the list of non-OECD countries authorised to import green-listed waste from the EU.
            
            
               The proposal also foresees the interoperability of the proposed electronic data interchange system with the EU Single Window environment for Customs. Such work will need additional financial resources, which will be made available to DG TAXUD by DG ENV from the LIFE, so that the decided interconnection to be made possible. Currently, the level of appropriate resources for such work cannot be determined with certainty, but see footnote 69 on the estimation of the costs.

                        The proposal foresees that in the future the interoperability of the proposed electronic data interchange system with the EU Single Window environment for Customs will be ensured. Such work will need financial resources devoted to it and made available to DG TAXUD to provide for the decided interconnection to be made possible. Currently, the level of appropriate resources for such work cannot be determined with certainty, but it is estimated that it could require a maximum estimated budget of 0.950 million EUR over a 5-year period, while a maintenance fee of 0.100 million EUR will be needed annually thereafter. It is further estimated that DG TAXUD would require 0.6 FTE during the first five years of implementation and 0.2 FTE for the maintenance of the interconnection with the EU Single Window Environment for Customs. As the development investment will be carried out over a 5-year period, the amount to be charged in the period 2024-2027 will be proportional to the effort made.

               Further information, in particular related to waste identification (block 14), i.e. on Basel Annexes VIII and IX codes, OECD codes and Y codes, can be found in a Guidance/Instruction Manual available from OECD and the Secretariat of the Basel Convention.
            
            
               ANNEX IC
            
            
               SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE NOTIFICATION AND MOVEMENT DOCUMENTS
            
            
               I. Introduction 
            
            
               1. The present instructions provide the necessary explanations for completing the notification and movement documents. Both documents are compatible with the Basel Convention
                  1
               , the OECD Decision
                  2
                (which only covers shipments of wastes destined for recovery operations within the OECD area) and this Regulation, since they take into account the specific requirements set out in these three instruments. 
            
            
               From [OP: Please insert the date two years after the date of entry into force of the Regulation], documents and information must be submitted via electronic means in accordance with Article 26, as required in the relevant provisions in the Regulation. In the cases of shipments involving third countries (as per Titles IV, V and VI), for which paper documents can be used, these instructions remain valid. In the other cases, they should be considered taking into account of the features of the electronic exchange of information and documentation.
            
            
               Because the documents have been made broad enough to cover all three instruments, however, not all blocks in the document will be applicable to all of the instruments and it therefore may not be necessary to complete all of the blocks in a given case. Any specific requirements relating to only one control system have been indicated with the use of footnotes. It is also possible that national implementing legislation may use terminology that differs from that adopted in the Basel Convention and the OECD Decision. For example, the term ‘shipment’ is used in this Regulation instead of ‘movement’ and the titles of the notification and movement documents therefore reflect this variation by employing the term ‘movement/shipment’. 
            
            
               2. The documents include both the term ‘disposal’ and ‘recovery’, because the terms are defined differently in the three instruments. The European Union Regulation and the OECD Decision use the term ‘disposal’ to refer to disposal operations listed in Annex IV.A of the Basel Convention and Appendix 5.A of the OECD Decision and ‘recovery’ for recovery operations listed in Annex IV.B of the Basel Convention and Appendix 5.B of the OECD Decision. In the Basel Convention itself, however, the term ‘disposal’ is used to refer to both disposal and recovery operations. 
            
         
         
            
               3. Until [OP: Please insert the date two years after the date of entry into force of the Regulation] the competent authorities of dispatch are responsible for providing and issuing the notification and movement documents (in both paper and electronic versions). From [OP: Please insert the date two years after the date of entry into force of the Regulation], the notification shall be submitted and the required information and documentation exchanged via electronic means in accordance with Article 26. 
            
            
               The competent authorities will use a numbering system, which allows a particular consignment of waste to be traced. The numbering system should be prefixed with the country code of the country of dispatch that can be found in the ISO standard 3166 abbreviation list. Within the EU, the two-digits country code must be followed by a space. This may be followed by an optional code of up to four digits specified by the competent authority of dispatch followed by a space. The numbering system must end with a six-digit number. For illustration, if the country code is XY and the six-digit number 123456, the notification number would be XY 123456 if no optional code were specified. Where an optional code, for example 12, is specified, the notification number would be XY 12 123456. However, in case a notification or movement document is transmitted electronically and no optional code is specified, ‘0000’ should be inserted instead of the optional code (e.g. XY 0000 123456); in case an optional code of less than four digits is specified, for example 12, the notification number would be XY 0012 123456. 
            
            
               4. Countries may wish to issue the documents in a paper size format that conforms to their national standards (normally ISO A4, as recommended by the United Nations). In order to facilitate their use internationally, however, and to take into account the difference between ISO A4 and the paper size used in North America, the frame size of the forms should not be greater than 183 × 262 mm with margins aligned at the top and the left side of the paper. The notification document (block 1-block 21 including footnotes) should be on one page and the list of abbreviations and codes used in the notification document should be on a second page. With regard to the movement document, block 1-block 19 including footnotes should be on one page and block 20-22 and the list of abbreviations and codes used in the movement document should be on a second page. 
            
            
            
               II. Purpose of the notification and movement documents 
            
            
               5. The notification document is intended to provide the competent authorities concerned with the information they need to assess the acceptability of proposed waste shipments. It also provides space for them to acknowledge receipt of the notification and, where required, to consent in writing to a proposed shipment. 
            
            
               6. The movement document is intended to travel with a consignment of waste at all times from the moment it leaves the waste producer to its arrival at a disposal or recovery facility in another country. Each person who takes charge of a shipment (carriers and possibly consignee
                  3
               ) is to sign the movement document either upon delivery or receipt of the wastes in question. There are also spaces in the movement document for recording passage of the consignment through the customs offices of all countries concerned (required by this Regulation). Finally, the document is to be used by the relevant disposal or recovery facility to certify that the waste has been received and that the recovery or disposal operation has been completed. 
            
            
            
               III. General requirements 
            
            
               7. A planned shipment subject to the procedure of prior written notification and consent may take place only after the notification and movement documents have been completed pursuant to this Regulation, taking into account Articles 16(1) and (2), and during the period of validity of the written or tacit consents of all competent authorities concerned. 
            
            
               8. Until [OP: Please insert the date two years after the date of entry into force of the Regulation], those filling out printed copies of the documents should use typescript or block capitals in permanent ink throughout. Until that same date, signatures should always be written in permanent ink and the name of the authorised representative should accompany the signature in capital letters. In the event of a minor mistake, for example the use of the wrong code for a waste, a correction can be made with the approval of the competent authorities. The new text must be marked and signed or stamped, and the date of the modification must be noted. For major changes or corrections, a new form must be completed. 
            
            
               From [date when Article 26 becomes applicable], the notification shall be submitted and the required information and documentation exchanged via electronic means in accordance with Article 26. 
            
            
               9. To simplify translation, the documents require a code, rather than text, for the completion of several blocks. Where text is required, however, it must be in a language acceptable to the competent authorities in the country of destination and, where required, to the other concerned authorities. 
            
            
               10. A six-digit format should be used to indicate the date. For example, 29 January 2024 should be shown as 29.01.24 (Day.Month.Year). 
            
            
               11. Where it is necessary to add annexes to the documents providing additional information, each annex should include the reference number of the relevant document and cite the block to which it relates. 
            
            
            
               IV. Specific instructions for completing the notification document 
            
            
               12. The notifier
                  4
                is to complete blocks 1–18 (except the notification number in block 3) at the time of notification. In some third countries which are not OECD member countries, the competent authority of dispatch may complete these blocks. When the notifier is not the same person as the original producer, this producer or one of the persons indicated in Article 3(6)(a)(ii) or (iii) is, where practicable, also to sign in block 17 as specified in the Article 5(2), and point 26 of Part 1 of Annex II. 
            
            
               13. Blocks 1 (See points 2 and 4 of Part 1 of Annex II) and 2 (point 6 of Part 1 of Annex II): Provide the required information (give registration number only where applicable, address including the name of the country and telephone and fax numbers including the country code; contact person should be responsible for the shipment including if incidents during shipment occur). In some third countries, information relating to the competent authority of dispatch may be given instead. The notifier may be a dealer or broker in accordance with Article 3(6) of this Regulation. In this case, provide a copy of the contract or evidence of the contract (or a declaration certifying its existence) between the producer, new producer or collector and the broker or dealer in an annex (see point 23 of Part 1 of Annex II). The phone and fax numbers and the e-mail address should facilitate contact of all relevant persons at any time regarding an incident during shipment. 
            
            
               14. Normally, the consignee would be the disposal or recovery facility given in block 10. In some cases, however, the consignee may be another person, for example a dealer, a broker
                  5
               , or a corporate body, such as the headquarters or mailing address of the receiving disposal or recovery facility in block 10. In order to act as a consignee, a dealer, broker or corporate body must be under the jurisdiction of the country of destination and possess or have some other form of legal control over the waste at the moment the shipment arrives in the country of destination. In such cases, information relating to the dealer, broker or corporate body should be completed in block 2. 
            
         
         
            
               15. Block 3 (See points 1, 5, 11 and 19 of Part 1 of Annex II): When issuing a notification document, a competent authority will, according to its own system, provide an identification number which will be printed in this block (see paragraph 3 above). Under A, ‘individual shipment’ refers to a single notification and ‘multiple shipments’ to a general notification. Under B, give the type of operation the waste being shipped is destined for. Under C, pre-consent refers to Article 14 of this Regulation. 
            
            
            
               16. Blocks 4 (See point 1 of Part 1 of Annex II), 5 (See point 17 of Part 1 of Annex II) and 6 (See point 12 of Part 1 of Annex II): Give the number of shipments in block 4 and the intended date of a single shipment or, for multiple shipments, the dates of the first and last shipments, in block 6. In block 5, give the estimated minimum and maximum weight in tonnes (1 tonne equals 1 megagram (Mg) or 1 000 kg) or volume in litres of the waste. In some third countries, giving the volume in cubic metres (1 cubic metre equals 1 000 litres) or other metric units, such as kilograms or litres, may also be acceptable. When other metric units are used, the unit of measure may be indicated and the unit in the document may be crossed out. The total quantity shipped must not exceed the maximum quantity declared in block 5. The intended period of time for shipments in block 6 may not exceed one year, with the exception of multiple shipments to pre-consented recovery facilities according to Article 14 of this Regulation (see paragraph 15), for which the intended period of time may not exceed three years. All shipments must take place within the validity period of the written or tacit consents of all competent authorities concerned issued by the competent authorities according to Article 9(4) of this Regulation. In the case of multiple shipments, some third countries may, based on the Basel Convention, require the expected dates or the expected frequency and the estimated quantity of each shipment to be quoted in blocks 5 and 6 or attached in an annex. Where a competent authority issues a written consent to the shipment and the validity period of that consent in block 20 differs from the period indicated in block 6, the decision of the competent authority overrides the information in block 6. 
            
            
               17. Block 7 (See point 18 of Part 1 of Annex II): Types of packaging should be indicated using the codes provided in the list of abbreviations and codes attached to the notification document. If special handling precautions are required, such as those required by producers’ handling instructions for employees, health and safety information, including information on dealing with spillage, and instructions in writing for the transport of dangerous goods, tick the appropriate box and attach the information in an annex. 
            
            
               18. Block 8 (See point 7 and 13 of Part 1 of Annex II): Provide the required information (give registration number only where applicable, address including the name of the country and telephone and fax numbers including the country code; contact person should be responsible for the shipment). If more than one carrier is involved, append to the notification document a complete list giving the required information for each carrier. Where the transport is organised by a forwarding agent, the agent’s details and the respective information on actual carriers should be provided in an annex. Provide evidence of registration of the carrier(s) regarding waste transports (e.g. a declaration certifying its existence) in an annex (see point 15 of Part 1 of Annex II). Means of transport should be indicated using the abbreviations provided in the list of abbreviations and codes attached to the notification document. 
            
            
               19. Block 9 (See point 3 and 16 of Part 1 of Annex II): Provide the required information on the producer of the waste
                  6
               . The registration number of the producer should be given where applicable. If the notifier is the producer of the waste then write ‘Same as block 1’. If the waste has been produced by more than one producer, write ‘See attached list’ and append a list providing the requested information for each producer. Where the producer is not known, give the name of the person in possession or control of such waste (holder). Also provide information on the process by which the waste was produced and the site of production. 
            
            
               20. Block 10 (See point 5 of Part 1 of Annex II): Provide the required information (give destination of the shipment by ticking either disposal or recovery facility, registration number only where applicable and actual site of disposal or recovery if it is different from the address of the facility). If the disposer or recoverer is also the consignee, state here ‘Same as block 2’. If the disposal or recovery operation is a D13–D15 or R12 or R13 operation (according to Annexes I or II of Directive 2008/98/EC on waste), the facility performing the operation should be mentioned in block 10, as well as the location where the operation will be performed. In such a case, corresponding information on the subsequent facility or facilities, where any subsequent R12/R13 or D13–D15 operation and the D1–D12 or R1–R11 operation or operations takes or take place or may take place should be provided in an annex. If the recovery or disposal facility is listed in Annex I, Category 5 of Directive 2010/75/EU, evidence (e.g. a declaration certifying its existence) of a valid permit issued in accordance with Articles 4 and 5 of that Directive must be provided in an annex in case a facility is located in the Union. 
            
            
               21. Block 11 (See points 5, 19 and 20 of Part 1 of Annex II): Indicate the type of recovery or disposal operation by using R-codes or D-codes of Annexes I or II of Directive 2008/98/EC on waste (see also the list of abbreviations and codes attached to the notification document)
                  7
               . If the disposal or recovery operation is a D13–D15 or R12 or R13 operation, corresponding information on the subsequent operations (any R12/R13 or D13–D15 as well as D1–D12 or R1–R11) should be provided in an annex. Also indicate the technology to be employed. If the waste is destined for recovery, provide the planned method of disposal for the non-recoverable fraction after recovery, the amount of recovered material in relation to non-recoverable waste, the estimated value of the recovered material and the cost of recovery and the cost of disposal of the non-recoverable fraction in an annex. In addition, in cases of imports into the Union of wastes destined for disposal, indicate a prior duly motivated request from the country of dispatch according Article 47(4) of this Regulation under ‘reason for export’ and attach this request in an annex. Some third countries outside the OECD may, based on the Basel Convention, also require that the reason for export is specified.
            
            
               22. Block 12 (See point 16 of Part 1 of Annex II): Give the name or names by which the material is commonly known or the commercial name and the names of its major constituents (in terms of quantity and/or hazard) and their relative concentrations (expressed as a percentage), if known. In the case of a mixture of wastes, provide the same information for the different fractions and indicate which fractions are destined for recovery. A chemical analysis of the composition of the waste may be requested in accordance with point 7 of Part 3 of Annex II of this Regulation. Attach further information in an annex if necessary. 
            
            
               23. Block 13 (See point 16 of Part 1 of Annex II). Indicate physical characteristics of the waste at normal temperatures and pressures. 
            
            
               24. Block 14 (See point 16 of Part 1 of Annex II): State the code that identifies the waste according to Annexes III, IIIA, IIIB, IV of this Regulation. Give the code according to the system adopted under the Basel Convention (under subheading (i) in block 14) and, where applicable, the systems adopted in the OECD Decision (under subheading (ii)) and other accepted classification systems (under subheadings (iii) to (xii)). According to Article 5(8) of this Regulation, give only one waste code (from Annexes III, IIIA, IIIB, IV of this Regulation) with the following two exceptions: In the case of wastes not classified under one single entry in either Annex III, IIIB, IV, give only one type of waste. In the case of mixtures of wastes not classified under one single entry in either Annex III, IIIB, IV, unless listed in Annex IIIA, provide the code of each fraction of the waste in order of importance (in an annex if necessary). 
            
            
            
               (a) Subheading (i): Basel Convention Annex VIII codes should be used for wastes that are subject to the procedure of prior written notification and consent (see Part I of Annex IV of this Regulation); Basel Annex IX codes should be used for wastes that are not usually subject to the procedure of prior written notification and consent but which, for a specific reason such as contamination by hazardous substances (cf. first paragraph of Annex III of this Regulation) or national regulations
                  8
               , are subject to the procedure of prior written notification and consent (see Part I of Annex III of this Regulation). Basel Annexes VIII and IX can be found in Annex V of this Regulation, in the text of the Basel Convention as well as in the Instruction Manual available from the Secretariat of the Basel Convention. If a waste is not listed in Annexes VIII or IX of the Basel Convention, insert ‘not listed’. 
            
            
               (b) Subheading (ii): OECD member countries should use OECD codes for wastes listed in Part II of Annexes III and IV of this Regulation, i.e. wastes that have no equivalent listing in the Annexes of the Basel Convention or that have a different level of control under this Regulation from the one required by the Basel Convention. If a waste is not listed in Part II of Annexes III and IV of this Regulation, insert ‘not listed’.
            
            
               (c) Subheading (iii): European Union Member States should use the codes included in the European Union list of wastes (see Commission Decision 2000/532/EC as amended)
                  9
               . 
            
            
               (d) Subheadings (iv) and (v): Where applicable, national identification codes other than the EU list of wastes used in the country of dispatch and, if known, in the country of destination should be used. 
            
            
               (e) Subheading (vi): If useful or required by the relevant competent authorities, add here any other code or additional information that would facilitate the identification of the waste. 
            
            
               Such codes may be included in Annexes IIIA, IIIB or IV (EU48) of this Regulation. In that case, the Annex number should be stated in front of the codes. As regards Annex IIIA, the relevant code(s) as indicated in Annex IIIA should be used, as appropriate in sequence. Certain Basel entries such as B1100 and B3020 are restricted to particular waste streams only, as indicated in Annex IIIA. 
            
            
               (f) Subheading (vii): State the appropriate Y-code or Y-codes according to the ‘Categories of wastes to be controlled’ (see Annex I of the Basel Convention and Appendix 1 of the OECD Decision), or according to the ‘Categories of wastes requiring special consideration’ given in Annex II of the Basel Convention (see Annex IV Part I of this Regulation or Appendix 2 of the Basel Instruction Manual), if it or they exist(s). Y- codes are not required by this Regulation and the OECD Decision except where the waste shipment falls under one of the two ‘Categories requiring special consideration’ under the Basel Convention (Y46 and Y47 or Annex II wastes), in which case the Basel Y-code should be indicated. Nevertheless, indicate the Y-code or Y-codes for wastes defined as hazardous according Article 1(1)(a) of the Basel Convention in order to fulfil the reporting requirements under the Basel Convention.  
            
            
               (g) Subheading (viii): If applicable, state here the appropriate H-code or H- codes, i.e. the codes indicating the hazardous characteristics exhibited by the waste (see the list of abbreviations and codes attached to the notification document). If there is no hazardous characteristic covered by the Basel Convention, but the waste is hazardous according to Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, state the HP- code or HP-codes according to this Annex III and insert ‘EU’ after the HP code (e.g. HP14 EU).
            
         
         
            
               (h) Subheading (ix): If applicable, state here the United Nations class or classes which indicate the hazardous characteristics of the waste according to the United Nations classification (see the list of abbreviations and codes attached to the notification document) and are required to comply with international rules for the transport of dangerous goods (see the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. Model Regulations (Orange Book), latest edition)
                  10
               . 
            
            
               (i) Subheadings (x and xi): If applicable, state here the appropriate United Nations number or numbers and United Nations shipping name or names. These are used to identify the waste according to the United Nations classification system and are required to comply with international rules for transport of dangerous goods (see the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. Model Regulations (Orange Book), latest edition). 
            
            
               (j) Subheading (xii): If applicable, state here customs code or codes, which allow identification of the waste by customs offices (see the list of codes and commodities in the ‘Harmonised commodity description and coding system’ produced by the World Customs Organisation). 
            
            
               25. Block 15 (See points 8-10, 14 of Part 1 of Annex II): On line (a) of block 15, provide the name of the countries
                  11
                of dispatch, transit and destination or the codes for each country by using the ISO standard 3166 abbreviations
                  12
               . On line (b), provide, where applicable, the code number of the respective competent authority for each country and on line (c) insert the name of the border crossing or port and, where applicable, the customs office code number as the point of entry to or exit from a particular country. For transit countries give the information in line (c) for points of entry and exit. If more than three transit countries are involved in a particular shipment, attach the appropriate information in an annex. Provide the intended route between points of exit and entry, including possible alternatives, also in cases of unforeseen circumstances, in an annex. 
            
            
               26. Block 16 (See point 14 of Part 1 of Annex II): Provide the required information in case shipments enter, pass through or leave the European Union. 
            
            
               27. Block 17 (See points 21-22 and 24-26 of Part 1 of Annex II): Each copy of the notification document is to be signed and dated by the notifier (or by dealer or broker if acting as a notifier) before being forwarded to the competent authorities of the countries concerned. In some third countries, the competent authority of dispatch may sign and date. When the notifier is not the same person as the original producer, this producer, the new producer or the collector is, where practicable, also to sign and date; it is noted that this may not be practicable in cases where there are several producers (definitions regarding practicability may be contained in national legislation). Further, where the producer is not known, the person in possession or control of the waste (holder) should sign. This declaration should also certify the existence of insurance against liability for damage to third parties. Some third countries may require proof of insurance or other financial guarantees and a contract to accompany the notification document. 
            
            
               From [date when Article 26 becomes applicable], the notification shall be submitted and the required information and documentation exchanged via electronic means in accordance with Article 26.
            
            
               28. Block 18: Indicate the number of annexes containing any additional information supplied with the notification document
                  13
               . Each annex must include a reference to the notification number to which it relates, which is indicated in the corner of block 3. 
            
            
               29. Block 19: Under the Basel Convention, the competent authority or authorities of the country or countries of destination (where applicable) and transit issue such an acknowledgement. Under the OECD Decision, the competent authority of the country of destination issues the acknowledgement. Some third countries may, according to their national legislation, require that the competent authority of dispatch also issues an acknowledgement.
            
            
               30. Blocks 20 and 21: Block 20 is for use by competent authorities of any country concerned when providing a written consent. The Basel Convention (except if a country has decided not to require written consent with regard to transit and has informed the other Parties thereof in accordance with Article 6(4) of the Basel Convention) and certain countries always require a written consent (according Article 9(1) of this Regulation, competent authorities of dispatch and transit may provide a tacit consent) whereas the OECD Decision does not require a written consent. Indicate the name of the country (or its code by using the ISO standard 3166 abbreviations). If the shipment is subject to specific conditions, the competent authority in question should tick the appropriate box and specify the conditions in block 21 or in an annex to the notification document. If a competent authority wishes to object to the shipment it should do so by writing ‘OBJECTION’ in block 20. Block 21, or a separate letter, may then be used to explain the reasons for the objection. 
            
            
               V. Specific instructions for completing the movement document 
            
            
               31. At the time of notification, the notifier is to complete blocks 3, 4 and 9–14. After receipt of the consents from the competent authorities of dispatch, destination and transit or, in relation to the competent authority of transit, tacit consent can be assumed, and before the actual start of the shipment, the notifier is to complete blocks 2, 5–8 (except the means of transport, the date of transfer and the signature), 15 and, if appropriate, 16. In some third countries which are not OECD member countries, the competent authority of dispatch may complete these blocks instead of the notifier. At the time of taking possession of the consignment, the carrier or its representative is to complete the means of transport, the date of transfer and the signature, which appear in blocks 8(a) to 8(c) and, if appropriate, 16. The consignee is to complete block 17 in the event that it is not the disposer or recoverer and when it takes charge of a shipment of waste after it arrives in the country of destination and, if appropriate, 16. 
            
            
               32. Block 1: The competent authority of dispatch is to enter the notification number (this is to be copied from block 3 in the notification document). 
            
            
               33. Block 2a: Provide the identification number of the container that carries the concerned waste during transport, if applicable.
            
            
               34. Block 2 (See point 1 of Part 2 of Annex II): For a general notification for multiple shipments, enter the serial number of the shipment and the total intended number of shipments indicated in block 4 in the notification document (for example, enter ‘4/11’ for the fourth shipment out of eleven intended shipments under the general notification in question). In the case of a single notification, enter ‘1/1’. 
            
            
               35. Blocks 3 and 4: Reproduce the same information on the notifier
                  14
                and consignee as given in blocks 1 and 2 in the notification document. 
            
            
               36. Block 5 (See point 6 of Part 2 of Annex II): Give the actual weight in tonnes (1 tonne equals 1 megagram (Mg) or 1 000 kg of the waste. In some third countries, giving the volume in cubic metres (1 cubic metre equals 1 000 litres) or other metric units, such as kilograms or litres, may be acceptable. When other metric units are used, the unit of measure may be indicated and the unit in the form may be crossed out. Attach, wherever possible, copies of weighbridge tickets. 
            
            
               37. Block 6 (See point 2 of Part 2 of Annex II): Enter the date when the shipment actually starts (see also instructions on block 6 of the notification document). 
            
            
               38. Block 7 (See points 7 and 8 of Part 2 of Annex II): Types of packaging should be indicated using the codes provided in the list of abbreviations and codes attached to the movement document. If special handling precautions are required, such as those prescribed by producers’ handling instructions for employees, health and safety information, including information on dealing with spillage, and transport emergency cards, tick the appropriate box and attach the information in an annex. Also enter the number of packages making up the consignment. 
            
            
               39. Blocks 8 (a), (b) and (c) (See points 3 and 4 of Part 2 of Annex II): Provide the required information (give registration number only where applicable, address including the name of the country and telephone and fax numbers including the country code). When more than three carriers are involved, appropriate information on each carrier should be attached to the movement document. The means of transport, the date of transfer and a signature should be provided by the carrier or carrier’s representative taking possession of the consignment. A copy of the signed movement document is to be retained by the notifier. Upon each successive transfer of the consignment, the new carrier or carrier’s representative taking possession of the consignment will have to comply with the same request and also sign the document. A copy of the signed document is to be retained by the previous carrier. 
            
         
         
            
               From [date when Article 26 becomes applicable], the notification shall be submitted and the required information and documentation exchanged via electronic means in accordance with Article 26.
            
            
               40. Block 9: Reproduce the information given in block 9 of the notification document. 
            
            
               41. Blocks 10 and 11: Reproduce the information given in blocks 10 and 11 in the notification document. If the disposer or recoverer is also the consignee, write in block 10: ‘Same as block 4’. If the disposal or recovery operation is a D13–D15 or R12 or R13 operation (according to Annexes I or II of Directive 2008/98/EC on waste), the information on the facility performing the operation provided in block 10 is sufficient. No further information on any subsequent facilities performing R12/R13 or D13–D15 operations and the subsequent facility(ies) performing the D1–D12 or R1–R11 operation(s) needs to be included in the movement document. 
            
            
               42. Blocks 12, 13 and 14: Reproduce the information given in blocks 12, 13 and 14 in the notification document. 
            
            
               43. Block 15 (See point 9 of Part 2 of Annex II): At the time of shipment, the notifier (or the dealer or broker if acting as a notifier) shall sign and date the movement document. In some third countries, the competent authority of dispatch, or the generator of the waste according to the Basel Convention, may sign and date the movement document. According to Article 16(1) of this Regulation, ensure that the information in the movement document is made electronically available, including during the time of transport, to the relevant authorities. 
            
            
               44. Block 16 (See point 5 of Part 2 of Annex II): This block can be used by any person involved in a shipment (notifier or the competent authority of dispatch, as appropriate, consignee, any competent authority, carrier) in specific cases where more detailed information is required by national legislation concerning a particular item (for example, information on the port where a transfer to another transport mode occurs, the number of containers and their identification number, or additional proof or stamps indicating that the shipment has been consented by the competent authorities). Give the routing (point of exit from and entry into each country concerned, including customs offices of entry into and/or exit from and/or export from the Union) and route (route between points of exit and entry), including possible alternatives, also in case of unforeseen circumstances either in block 16 or attach it in an annex.
            
            
               45. Block 17: This block is to be completed by the consignee in the event that it is not the disposer or recoverer (cf. paragraph 14 above) and in case the consignee takes charge of the waste after the shipment arrives in the country of destination. 
            
            
               46. Block 18: This block is to be completed by the authorised representative of the disposal or recovery facility upon receipt of the waste consignment. Tick the box of the appropriate type of facility. With regard to the quantity received, please refer to the specific instructions on block 5 (paragraph 36). A signed copy of the movement document is given to the last carrier. If the shipment is rejected for any reason, the representative of the disposal or recovery facility must immediately contact his or her competent authority. According to Article 16(3) or, if appropriate, 15(3) of this Regulation and the OECD Decision, confirmation to the notifier and the relevant authorities that the waste has been received must be provided within one day (with the exception of those OECD transit countries which have informed the OECD Secretariat that they do not wish to receive such copies of the movement document). The original movement document shall be retained by the disposal or recovery facility. 
            
            
               From [date when Article 26 becomes applicable], the notification shall be submitted and the required information and documentation exchanged via electronic means in accordance with Article 26.
            
            
               47. Receipt of the waste consignment must be certified by any facility performing any disposal or recovery operation, including any D13–D15 or R12 or R13 operation. A facility performing any D13D15 or R12/R13 operation or a D1–D12 or R1–11 operation subsequent to a D13–D15 or R12 or R13 operation in the same country, is not, however, required to certify receipt of the consignment from the D13–D15 or R12 or R13 facility. Thus, block 18 does not need to be used for the final receipt of the consignment in such a case. Indicate also the type of disposal or recovery operation by using R-codes or D codes of Annexes I or II of Directive 2008/98/EC on waste and the approximate date by which the disposal or recovery of waste will be completed. 
            
            
               48. Block 19: This block is to be completed by the disposer or recoverer to certify the completion of the disposal or recovery of the waste. According to Article 16(4) or, if appropriate, 15(4) of this Regulation and the OECD Decision, signed copies of the movement document with block 19 completed should be sent to the notifier and competent authorities of dispatch, transit (not required by the OECD Decision) and destination as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days after the completion of the recovery or disposal and no later than one calendar year following the receipt of the waste. Some third countries which are not OECD member countries may require in accordance with the Basel Convention that signed copies of the document with block 19 completed must be sent to the notifier and the competent authority of dispatch. For disposal or recovery operations D13–D15 or R12 or R13, the information on the facility performing such an operation provided in block 10 is sufficient, and no further information on any subsequent facilities performing R12/R13 or D13–D15 operations and the subsequent facility(ies) performing the D1–D12 or R1–R11 operation(s) need be included in the movement document. 
            
            
               49. The disposal or recovery of waste must be certified by any facility performing any disposal or recovery operation, including a D13–D15 or R12 or R13 operation. Therefore, a facility performing any D13–D15 or R12/R13 operation or a D1–D12 or R1–R11 operation, subsequent to a D13–D15 or R12 or R13 operation in the same country, should not use block 19 to certify the recovery or disposal of the waste, since this block will already have been completed by the D13–D15 or R12 or R13 facility. The means of certifying disposal or recovery in this particular case must be ascertained by each country. 
            
            
               50. In case of waste shipped for preparation for re-use or recycling, the actual quantity of the waste that was recycled or prepared for re-use by the receiving facility must be provided in block 19. If the waste was shipped for other recovery operations, including energy recovery, the amount recovered must be provided in block 19. The applicable Union rules on the calculation, verification and reporting of data must be taken into account when completing this block
                  15
               .
            
            
               51. Blocks 20, 21 and 22: The blocks must be used for control by customs offices at the borders of the Union.

               WASTE LISTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ARTICLE 36
            
            
               Introductory notes
            
            
               1.This Annex applies without prejudice to Directive 2008/98/EC.
            
            
               2.This Annex consists of two parts. Article 36 further refers to the list of waste as referred to in Article 7 of Directive 2008/98/EC. For the purposes of this Regulation and to determine whether a specific waste is listed as referred to in Art. 36 of this Regulation, the list of waste as referred to in Article 7 of Directive 2008/98/EC applies only when Part 1 of this Annex is not applicable. If a waste is not listed in Part 1 of this Annex or in the list of waste as referred to in Article 7 of Directive 2008/98/EC , only then it should be checked if it is listed in Part 2 of this Annex.
            
            
               Part 1 of this Annex 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 the list of waste as referred to in Article 7 of Directive 2008/98/EC (i.e. types of waste marked with an asterisk) or in Part 2 of this Annex, 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 the list of waste as referred to in Article 7 of Directive 2008/98/EC (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 2008/98/EC; or
            
            
               (b)prevents the recovery of the waste in an environmentally sound manner.

               CRITERIA DESIGNED TO DEMONSTRATE THAT A FACILITY MANAGES WASTE EXPORTED FROM THE UNION IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND MANNER 
            
            
               1.The audit referred in Article 43(2) verifies that the facility managing the waste in the country of destination complies with the following conditions:
            
            
               (a)it is authorised by its competent authorities to import and treat this waste (evidence to be provided notably through production of corresponding permits or licences) and is carrying out its activities in accordance with relevant applicable domestic legislation on environmental protection;
            
            
               (b)it is designed, constructed and operated in a safe and environmentally sound manner and, in particular, it has the required processes, organisation and infrastructure in place to treat the waste in question, and insurances covering potential risks and liabilities. To this end, as a minimum, information on the waste treatment methods, including how they deal with residual waste, notably through downstream traceability, must be checked;
            
            
               (c)it establishes management and monitoring systems, procedures and techniques that have the purpose of preventing, reducing, minimising and to the extent practicable eliminating: 
            
            
               (i)health and safety risks to workers concerned and to the population in the vicinity of the facility, and 
            
            
               (ii)adverse effects on the environment caused by its activities (in particular through adequate measures taken to monitor and address soil, water and air pollution, and other nuisances (odour, noise));
            
            
               (d)it ensures the traceability of all waste received and treated at the facility, including ensuring that all residual waste generated from their activities are documented and are only transferred to waste management facilities that are authorised to deal with their further treatment. To this end, as a minimum, information should be checked on:
            
            
               – the amount of waste that the facility is entitled to treat according to its permit/licences, 
            
            
               –the amount of waste that they receive and recover annually, 
            
            
               –the amount of residual waste  generated by their activities, as well evidence that this residual waste is shipped to and treated in an authorised waste treatment facility;
            
         
         
            
               (e)it has taken measures designed to save energy and limit the emissions of greenhouse gases linked to its activities;
            
            
               (f)it establishes and is able to provide records of its waste management and waste shipment activities for the last five years;
            
            
               (g)it has not been convicted of illegal activities linked to waste shipment or waste management. 
            
            
               2.Upon verifying compliance of a facility against the above criteria, the independent third party performing the audit must in particular take into account, as a point of reference and where relevant:
            
            
               (a)specific requirements for the treatment of certain waste and on the calculation of the amount of waste treated, which are mandatory under EU legislation;
            
            
               (b)the Best Available Techniques conclusions adopted for certain activities under the regime of Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions
                  75
               . 
            
            
               3.In addition, the guidelines referred to in Part 2 of Annex IX may also be taken into consideration as guidance.
