Today the European Commission adopted an implementing act with a correlation table as another effort to step up the enforcement of the Waste Shipment Regulation. The table will thus serve as a tool to assist in curbing illegal exports of waste out of the EU.
This regulation is in line with the further measures foreseen by the Commission in its Circular Economy Action Plan adopted on 2 December 2015 to help ensure that the Waste Shipment Regulation is properly implemented and that illegal shipments causing raw materials leakage are addressed more effectively.
