Project description and aims

Many projects and activities of the Waste and TFS Expert Team are based on the European Waste Shipment Regulation (EC) Nº 1013/2006 (WSR). Being a Regulation and including a cross-border aspect, it is of high importance to have an active and practical European network of inspectors and regulators that meet on a regular basis to exchange practical experiences. Not only environmental inspectors, but also Customs and Police officers and the Judiciary. Ongoing IMPEL-TFS projects continue to show the need for establishing and above all maintaining good and practical collaboration between Member States, third countries and relevant international organisations.
In June 2014 a number of amendments to the WSR were adopted, aiming at a better and more equal inspection regime of the WSR throughout the EU; for example by the establishment of inspection plans. The amendments also enhance the competences of the enforcement agencies and improved sharing of information.

These annual conferences aim therefore to facilitate:

  • Exchanges of best practices and experiences;
  • Promotion of IMPEL work to a broader audience;
  • A more uniform approach and interpretation of the WSR;
  • Improved collaboration between the involved law enforcement agencies;
  • Presentations of the outcomes of other relevant (international) projects and initiatives;
  • Collection ideas for future work of the Waste and TFS export team;
  • Improving links and joint actions with countries and regions outside the European Union.
