(...) This draft Regulation establishes procedures and control regimes for the shipment of waste, depending on the origin, destination and route of the shipment, the type of waste shipped and the type of treatment to be applied to the waste at its destination. It provides the procedural rules for shipping waste both within, through, from and to the Union. New approaches as compared to the current Regulation are proposed: (...)
• new rules that will require both economic operators and public authorities to verify that waste exported from the EU is treated in a sustainable manner in the countries of destination. Concretely, exports of EU non-hazardous waste to third non-OECD countries would only be allowed where these countries have indicated their willingness and ability to receive (certain) waste. Also, exporting companies would be obliged to ensure that the facilities in third countries where their waste is destined to, are independently audited to verify that the received waste will be managed in an environmentally sound manner. For exports to third countries that are members of the OECD, a monitoring mechanism and a safeguard measure are proposed to avoid that a surge in the export of waste from the EU creates environmental or public health problems in the countries of destination; • stronger enforcement of waste shipment rules, including an enhanced role for the EU's anti-fraud office (OLAF). |

This draft Regulation would amend entry 63 to Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. It would prohibit the use of lead and lead compounds in Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) articles. Moreover, it would prohibit the placing on the market of PVC articles containing a concentration of lead equal or greater than 0,1% of the PVC. The Regulation provides for a number of derogations to this restriction, inter alia for PVC-silica separators in lead acid batteries and PVC articles containing recovered rigid PVC. To benefit from the latter derogation, the recovered origin of the PVC material needs to be certified by an independent third party.

This draft Commission Implementing Decision does not approve methylene dithiocyanate as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 12. According to the opinion of the Agency, biocidal products of product-type 12 containing methylene dithiocyanate cannot be expected to meet the criteria laid down in Article 5(1), points (b) (iii) and (iv), and (c), read in conjunction with Article 10(1) of Directive 98/8/EC. (...) it was not possible to confirm that the material used to conduct (eco)toxicological studies cover the presented specifications and to conclude on the relevance of the impurities due to the lack of (eco)toxicological data. Lastly, the environmental risk assessment identified unacceptable risks, and no suitable risk mitigation measure could be identified. (...)
