  2. WASTE SHIPMENTS REGULATION15 July 2005Jan CLYNCKEChairman FEAD WG on Waste Shipments

  3. Fundamental Objectives of the existing WSR • Protection of environment and human health • Conformity with International regulations ( Basel Convention, OECD …): control of movements of wastes • Ensure traceability of wastes movements till the final treatment operation and a good functioning of the internal market for recycling operations • Avoid illegal shipments

  4. EXISTING PRINCIPLES For shipments within EU, the main principles are: • Proximity and self sufficiency for DISPOSAL of wastes • Promotion of RECOVERY through easing cross border shipments for such operations

  5. FEAD Recommendations on WSR • Keep and update definitions of R/D in the WFD • EU standards for recycling processes and recovered materials irrelevant for WSR but to be defined in the annexes of the WFD • WSR must only be a Regulation on shipments’ procedures  basis for better controls

  6. FEAD Recommendations on WSR • ‘Workable’ procedures: ►to implement the above mentioned basic objectives ►to reduce administrative burden ►to enable more efficient control on the shipments • ► Harmonised implementation by appropriate guidance and enforced cooperation between MSs

  7. FEAD Recommendations on WSR • Objections to RECOVERY should be limited in time (max. 2 to 3 years) in order to speed up the development of standards and definitions and create a uniform ruled market • Objections to RECOVERY (art. 12) must be objective

  8. FEAD Recommendations on WSR WFD and WSR are so inter-linked that they should be discussed in parallel so as to ensure consistency between both final texts

  9. The main goal of WSR is environmental protection BUT currently numerous interferences with other waste legislation cause adverse effects

  10. Examples • Misuse of R/D codes (several ECJ cases) • Different national standards • Protectionism

  11. Simplification of procedures  Lowering administrative and economic burdens

  12. Administrative and economic burdens • Unclear issuing of movement documents • Management of financial security • Inefficient communication tools at authorities • Authorities must have capacity and ability to handle the WSR in due time

  13. CONCLUSIONS • Clear definitions in the WFD • Parallel and consistent revision of WFD and WSR • Simple procedure with effective traceability • Objections to shipments for Recovery must be limited until the development of EU environmental standards and definitions • Appropriate control on the shipments  Level playing field in environmental protection
