Waste classification

Shipments of waste to disposal operations (D-codes) are classified (sorted) according to the List of Wastes, which can be found in the European Waste Catalogue (EC Decisions 2000/532/EC, 2001/118/EC, 2001/119/EC, 2001/573/EC and 2014/955/EU) or you can also use the list from Annex V, Part 2, to Regulation 1013/2006.

Shipments of waste to recovery operations (R-codes) within EC Member States are classified according to Annexes III, IIIA, IIIB, IV and IVA to Regulation No 1013/2006: Unofficial consolidated version of Annexes III, IIIA, IIIB, IV and IVA. This document indicates in blue the codes used for shipments of waste within the EU and between OECD countries. Changes related to the shipping of plastics are indicated in red. If the waste is not found on any of the listed lists, it is considered unclassified.

Shipments of waste to recovery operations (R-codes) in case of shipment outside the EC are classified according to Annex V to Regulation No 1013/2006.

Shipments of Annex III and IIIA waste to non-OECD countries

In accordance with the provisions of Article 37 of Regulation 1013/2006, the EU Commission sent a written note to all non-OECD countries inviting them to make a determination regarding shipments of waste listed in Annex III or IIIA whose export to these countries is not prohibited under Article 36 of Regulation 1013/2006. The countries were given the following options:
(a) prohibition; or
(b) the procedure of prior written notification and consent in accordance with Article 35; or
(c) no controls in the country of destination (no prior written notification and consent procedure required).

The response of countries or the regime in the case of shipments of Annex III or IIIA waste ("green waste") to these countries can be seen in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007 as amended.

If countries have not replied - they will not be found in the Annexes to Regulation No 1418/2007 as amended - these countries are considered to have opted for the prior notification and consent procedure.

Illegal shipments of waste

An illegal shipment of waste means any shipment of waste made:
(a) without notification to all relevant competent authorities in accordance with Regulation No 1013/2006/EC; or
(b) without the consent of the competent authorities concerned in accordance with Regulation No 1013/2006/EC; or
(c) with consent obtained from the competent authorities concerned by falsification, misrepresentation or fraud; or
(d) in a manner not expressly provided for in the notification or transport document; or
(e) in a manner which results in disposal or processing contrary to Community or international rules, or
(f) in contravention of Articles 34, 36, 39, 40, 41 and 43 of Regulation No 1013/2006/EC; or
(g) in a manner which, in relation to shipments of waste referred to in Article 3(2) and (4) of Regulation No                     1013/2006/EC, is labelled:
   (i) a determination that the waste is not listed in Annex III, IIIA or IIIB to Regulation No 1013/2006/EC, or
   (i) failure to comply with the fourth paragraph of Article 3 of Regulation No 1013/2006/EC;
   (ii) the implementation of a shipment in a manner not expressly provided for in the document referred to in Annex          VII to Regulation No 1013/2006/EC.

Goods vehicles detained by the control authorities in the Republic of Slovenia for transporting illegal shipments of waste, pending agreement by the competent authorities of the countries on the return of the shipments or on alternative treatment of the illegal shipments, are liable to pay a parking fee of EUR 25 for each day of parking (price excluding VAT), if they cannot be further detained at the place of the detected infringement.

In order to detain goods vehicles carrying illegal shipments of waste, the Inspectorate of the Environment and Energy of the Republic of Slovenia has a contract for the parking of goods vehicles with TRANS FELIX d.o.o., at Lesno Brdo 17, Vrhnika.

A cost order will be issued to the person organising the waste shipment or to the notifier responsible for the illegal shipment of waste for the storage costs incurred.
