COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 674/2012
of 23 July 2012
amending Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007 concerning the export for recovery of certain waste to certain non-OECD countries
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 on shipments of waste (1), and in particular Article 37 thereof,
After consultation of the countries concerned,
Whereas:
(1) |
Annex IIIA to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 has been amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 664/2011 of 11 July 2011 (2) on shipments of waste to include certain mixtures of wastes. Consequently, pursuant to Article 37 of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006, the Commission has sent a written request to each country to which the OECD Decision (3) does not apply, seeking confirmation in writing that those mixtures of wastes, the export of which is not prohibited under Article 36 of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006, may be exported from the European Union for recovery in that country and requesting an indication as to which control procedure, if any, would be followed in the country of destination. The Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007 of 29 November 2007 concerning the export for recovery of certain waste listed in Annex III or IIIA to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council to certain countries to which the OECD Decision on the control of transboundary movements of wastes does not apply (4) should therefore be amended to take into account the replies received. |
(2) |
The Commission has also received further information from several countries relating to other wastes listed in Annex III or IIIA to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006. The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007 should therefore be amended to take this into account, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 2

The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007 is amended as follows:
(1) |
After the paragraph stating: Where two codes are separated by a semicolon, this is to be understood as covering the two codes in question, the following paragraphs are inserted: "Where option B and option D are both designated for the same entry, that means that local control procedures are applicable in addition to those laid down in Article 35 of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006. Where a particular waste or mixture of wastes is not indicated for a given country, this means that this country has not issued a sufficiently clear confirmation that this waste or mixture of wastes may be exported for recovery in that country and as to which control procedure, if any, would be followed in that country. Pursuant to Article 37(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006, the procedure of prior written notification and consent as described in Article 35 of that Regulation is applicable in such cases." |
