Part I
Wastes listed in Annexes II and VIII to the Basel Convention (25).
For the purposes of this Regulation:
Any reference in Annex VIII to the Basel Convention to list B shall be understood as a reference to Annex III to this Regulation.
In Basel entry A1010, the term ‘excluding such wastes specifically listed on List B (Annex IX)’ is a reference both to Basel entry B1020 and the note on B1020 in Annex III to this Regulation, Part I(b).
Basel entry A2060 shall not apply and OECD entry GG040 in Annex III, Part II shall apply instead when appropriate.
Basel entry A4050 includes spent potlinings from aluminium smelting because they contain Y33 inorganic cyanides. If the cyanides have been destroyed, spent potlinings are assigned to Part II entry AB120 because they contain Y32, inorganic fluorine compounds excluding calcium fluoride.
Basel entry A3210 does not apply and entry AC300 in Part II applies instead.
For waste shipped within the Union, Basel entry Y48 does not apply and the following entry applies instead:
EU48 | Plastic waste not covered by entry AC300 in Part II or by entry EU3011 in Part I of Annex III, as well as mixtures of plastic waste not covered by point 4 of Annex IIIA. |
For waste shipped within the Union until 31 December 2026, Basel entry Y49 shall not apply and entries GC010 and GC020 in Annex III Part II shall apply instead where appropriate.
