1.0General Introduction

This working document to the Report from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament contains information on the generation, treatment and transboundary shipment of hazardous waste and other waste in the Member States of the European Union (EU), 2013-2015.

The report is comprised of five sections and contains both quantitative and qualitative information on waste generation and treatment:

·Section A: Provides a quantitative outline of Member States’ waste transactions. This information was provided by Member States in their responses to the Basel Convention Implementation Questionnaire;

·Section B: Summarises Member States’ provisions regarding waste management in line with the Basel Convention. This information was provided by Member States in their responses to the Basel Convention Implementation Questionnaire;

·Section C: Provides an up-to-date list of the Competent Authorities to the Basel Convention. This information was provided by Member States in their responses to the Basel Convention Implementation Questionnaire;

·Section D: Provides a list of the Y-codes for waste according to the Basel Convention; and

·Section E: Summarises Member States’ provisions regarding waste management in line with the Waste Shipment Regulation. This information was provided by Member States in their responses to the Waste Shipment Regulation Implementation Questionnaire.

A summary of the state of reporting for the Basel Convention Implementation Questionnaire in regards to Article 51(1) of the Waste Shipment Regulation (WSR), and the WSR Implementation Questionnaire in regards to Article 51(2) of the WSR for the years 2013-2015 is shown in Table 1 1 .

For practical reasons, the report does not differentiate between direct quotes from the Member States’ replies and other re-phrased or shortened passages. The original replies from the Member States constitute the only “authentic” document submitted by the Member States.

It should be noted that the Basel Convention uses the terms "import" and "export" for every shipment into and out of a country that is Party to the Convention. Under EU law these terms apply only to shipments into and out of the EU as a whole. However, for the sake of readability, in the Implementation Report accompanying this working document the terms appear in inverted commas, and are used occasionally for waste shipments in general (i.e. as applied in the Basel Convention). In this document both terms appear in the sense in which they are used in the Basel Convention.

Table 2 5 shows figures reported by Member States which do not cover all hazardous wastes generated, due to the fact that many hazardous waste streams were reported by Members States as “unlisted wastes” without a Y code. This has therefore created inconsistency between the figures presented here and those presented in Table 2 1 above, which are higher.
