Verbringung von Abfällen in Deutschland und Europa Zustimmung

As a company, you would like to transport waste across national borders? Then the regulations of the EC Regulation on the Shipment of Waste apply to you.

All waste for disposal and recovery that is to be shipped across state borders must in principle be notified and requires the consent of the authorities involved in the country of dispatch and reception.

This consent can be given below:

• Consent without conditions,
• consent with conditions
• objection.

Exceptions to the notification requirement can be obtained from the competent authority.

The information and documents to be submitted are listed in Annex II of EU Regulation 1013/2006.

Approval is given if the notification has been properly executed, the submitted documents are complete and no objections are raised.

After receipt of all necessary documents, the forwarding point authority checks whether the notification has been properly executed, sends the documents to the destination authority and to all transit country authorities concerned within three working days if the assessment is positive, and informs the notifier accordingly. However, the transit point authority may refuse to forward the documents if it requests additional documents or raises an objection to the notification within the three working day period.

No later than three working days after receipt of the documents, including those previously requested, the competent authority of destination shall send a so-called acknowledgement of receipt. Even if the notification is properly executed, the authority of dispatch may request additional documents necessary for the assessment for approval. However, it is obliged to forward the notification. In this case, the destination authority may not send an acknowledgement of receipt until it receives notification from the shipping point authority that these subsequently requested documents have also been received. No later than 30 days after sending the acknowledgement of receipt, all authorities involved shall give their decision on the planned notification. This is done by:

• Consent without conditions or
• consent with conditions or
• raising objections.

No later than 30 days after the transmission of the acknowledgement of receipt, all authorities involved shall issue their decision on the planned notification.
