COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1420/1999

of 29 April 1999

establishing common rules and procedures to apply to shipments to certain non-OECD countries of certain types of waste

Article 1

The export of waste listed in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 and mentioned in Annex A to this Regulation to countries listed in said Annex A shall be prohibited.

Article 2

The control procedure laid down in Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 shall apply to exports to the countries listed in Annex B to this Regulation with respect to those categories of waste destined for recovery only and listed in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 259/93.

Article 3

Upon request by the country of destination the control procedure applicable to that country under this Regulation shall be amended in accordance with this Article.

The Commission shall determine, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18 of Council Directive 75/442/EEC of 15 July 1975 on waste ( 7 ), and in cooperation with the country concerned, which of the control procedures shall apply, that is to say:

(i)

the procedure applicable to wastes listed in Annex III or Annex IV to Regulation (EEC) No 259/93, or

(ii)

the procedure laid down in Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 259/93, or

(iii)

none of the procedures referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above.

The Commission shall inform the Member States of the change of position of a country of destination within 21 days of receipt of the request from that country and shall submit its proposed determination to the Committee established under said Article 18 of Directive 75/442/EEC as soon as possible within three months of receipt of the request.

Furthermore, where there is any other exceptional change of circumstances, for example, war, natural disaster or a trade embargo decided by the United Nations, which would affect the control procedure applicable under this Regulation, this control procedure may be amended. The Commission may determine, after consultation with the country of destination, as appropriate, and in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18 of Directive 75/442/EEC, which of the procedures referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article shall apply.

The Commission shall, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18 of Directive 75/442/EEC, regularly review Annexes A and B of this Regulation, in order to bring them into line with the amendments made to the Annexes to Regulation (EEC) No 259/93.

Article 4

The control procedures established by this Regulation shall be subject to periodic review by the Commission and for the first time no later than nine months following its publication in the Official Journal, taking into account the experience gained. If the results of the review lead to the conclusion that it would be appropriate, the Commission may, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 3, make new proposals to the Council.

Article 5

The Commission, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18 of Directive 75/442/EEC, shall, as soon as possible, review and amend this Regulation in order to bring it into line with Regulation (EEC) No 259/93.

Article 6

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 90th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

ANNEX A

Countries and territories which have indicated to the Commission that they do not wish to receive shipments for recovery of certain types of waste listed in Annex II to Council Regulation (EEC) No 259/93
