Minister for the Environment
EXPLANATORY NOTE.
These Regulations give effect to Council Directive 84/631/EEC of 6th December, 1984, as amended by Council Directive 86/279/EEC of 12th June, 1986, on the supervision and control of transfrontier shipments of hazardous waste as defined in article 2.
The provisions in Part II relate to the export of hazardous waste from the State. They prohibit holders of such waste from commencing a transfrontier shipment until it has been notified to the appropriate authorities and the relevant competent authority has acknowledged the notification. Where the waste is to be exported to a state outside the Communities, the local authority for the area in which the waste is held is responsible for the issue of the acknowledgment, except where the last Member State of transit assumes this role. There is provision for a single pre-notification of a series of consignments over a period not exceeding one year where such consignments have the same physical and chemical characteristics. Provision is also made for a simplified notification procedure for consignments of waste from non-ferrous metals intended for re-use, regeneration or recycling.
Under Part III, which relates to imports of hazardous waste to the State, the Minister for the Environment is the competent authority for the purposes of issuing an acknowledgment or objection. A consignee is prohibited from accepting hazardous waste from outside the State for disposal in the State unless it is accompanied by the appropriate acknowledgment and carriers are prohibited from handling such waste unless the consignment is accompanied by the appropriate documentation.
Part IV makes provision with respect to offences and penalties. Lists of the competent authorities in Member States are published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
