These Regulations amend the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007to set out export control procedures for a new category of sorted, non-hazardous, plastic waste classified as B3011, which had previously been a subset of classification B3010.

These Regulations also amend both Annex 7 to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006and the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007in order to remove defunct references to plastic waste classified as B3010, which is no longer a classification used in the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal, adopted on 22nd March 1989( 3), amended by Decision BC-14/12( 4).

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
