publié le 16 mai 2017 (modifié le 27 novembre 2017)

Movements of waste may sometimes involve interim disposal or recovery operations (such as pre-treatment, for example).

In this case, the notification file should include the following specific information :

Information on final outlet

Specify the address and treatment method used

Specific information to be included in the contract

The contract must make specific mention of the obligation on the facility of destination to provide, in accordance with Article 15(d) and, where appropriate, Article 15(e) :

  • certificates indicating that the waste has been recovered or disposed of in accordance with the notification and the conditions specified therein and the requirements of this Regulation
  • the obligation on the consignee to submit, where applicable, a notification to the initial competent authority of the initial country of dispatch in accordance with Article 15(f)(ii).

Specific conditions for the financial guarantee

Regarding the return of the financial guarantee (once waste movements have been completed), the PNTTD can apply the provisions of Article 6.6 of EC Regulation n° 1013/2006 :

If the waste being shipped is destined for interim recovery or disposal operations and a further recovery or disposal operation takes place in the country of destination, the financial guarantee or equivalent insurance may be released when the waste leaves the interim facility and the competent authority concerned has received the certificate referred to in Article 15(d).
