3.107. Regulation (EC) No. 1013/2006 lays down rules on the export of waste from the EU. They are based on the provisions of the Basel Convention for the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Waste and their Disposal, but are stricter in a number of instances. At the 14th Conference of the Parties of the Basel Convention in May 2019, new rules were adopted with regard to international trade in plastic waste, which will enter into force in 2021. For the EU, this means that, from 2021, the export of plastic waste to non-OECD countries will be banned, except for plastic wastes which are easy to recycle.

3.108. Pursuant to a Commission Guidance document , the EU has given guidance to member States to not issue re-export certificates for raw ivory, except in exceptional cases, since 1 July 2017. This temporary suspension is in response to a surge in elephant poaching, a significant increase in the legal trade in ivory from the EU in recent years, and various EU initiatives taken against wildlife trafficking pursuant to CITES. The Guidance document also puts in place more stringent measures on intra-EU trade in ivory.
