Report on the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 on shipments of waste

Summary:

On 22 November 2018 the European Commission presented a report on the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006, covering the generation, treatment and transboundary shipment of hazardous waste and other waste in the Member States, 2013-2015; and the exercise of the Commission's power to adopt delegated acts.

Further information:

The European Union is a party to the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal. The Convention serves to protect human health and the environment against the adverse effects of hazardous wastes. Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 on shipments of waste transposes the Convention into EU law and is directly applicable to Member States.

Each calendar year, each Member State submits a report on the implementation of the Convention over the previous year to the Convention Secretariat. A copy of this report ('the Basel report') is also sent to the Commission, along with additional information in the form of a reply to an implementation questionnaire ('the EU questionnaire').

Every three years, the Commission draws up an implementation report based on the Basel reports and the EU questionnaires. This is the fifth implementation report covering the years 2013-2015. Details of the Member State reports can be found in the accompanying staff working document.
