Waste import, export and transit according to the new Waste Act

Rather a big portion of the Waste Act is devoted to the transboundary movement of waste. It regulates, in a detailed way, import, export and transit of waste and is in compliance with the Council Regulation No. 259/93/EEC On the supervision and control of shipments of waste within, into and out of the European Community. Wastes intended for recovery have been classified, for the purposes of management, control and records of import, export and transit, with three lists (the green, yellow and red list of wastes) according to hazardousness. The Waste Act prohibits the import and export of some types of wastes.
