Eea Calls For Change To Monitoring Of Waste Shipments

摘要

Member states should use the codes from the European Waste List when reporting waste shipments to the European Commission. According to a new report by the European Environment Agency, this would help ensure "sound" waste management rather than illegal waste tourism.rnCurrently member states report waste shipments to the Commission using the aggregated Basel Convention code. According to the EEA, the 47 codes of the Convention do not correspond adequately to the waste streams actually exported, making it "impossible to determine the exact nature of the waste shipped."
