ANNEX V
WASTE LISTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ARTICLE 39
Introductory notes
| 1. | This Annex applies without prejudice to Directive 2008/98/EC.
| 2. | This Annex consists of two parts. Article 39 further refers to the list of waste as referred to in Article 7 of Directive 2008/98/EC. For the purposes of this Regulation and to determine whether a specific waste is covered by the export prohibition in Article 39 of this Regulation, the list of waste as referred to in Article 7 of Directive 2008/98/EC applies only when List A of Part 1 of this Annex is not applicable. If a waste is not listed in List A of Part 1 of this Annex, and not listed as a hazardous waste in the list of waste as referred to in Article 7 of Directive 2008/98/EC, only then it must be checked if it is listed in Part 2 of this Annex.
| 3. | Wastes listed in List B of Part 1 or which are among the non-hazardous waste listed in the list of waste as referred to in Article 7 of Directive 2008/98/EC (i.e. wastes not marked with an asterisk) are covered by the export prohibition if they are contaminated by other materials to an extent which:
increases the risks associated with the wastes sufficiently to render it appropriate for submission to the procedure of prior written notification and consent, when taking into account the list of waste referred to in Article 7 of Directive 2008/98/EC as well as the hazardous properties listed in Annex III to that Directive; or
prevents the recovery of the waste in an environmentally sound manner.
