Decision of the council C(2001)107/Final concerning the control of transboundary movements of wastes destined for recovery operations, as amended by C(2004)20

For reasons of simplicity and convenience, this document consolidates the two following official documents:

1- the text of the original Decision C(2001)107/FINAL, adopted by the OECD Council in 2002,

and

2- the text of the amendments made to Appendices 3 and 4 of Decision C(2001)107/FINAL, i.e. document C(2004)20 which was submitted to Council for information in March 2004.

These amendments, which came into force on 20 November 2003, have been adopted by OECD Member countries in accordance with the provisions of Article 3, Section B, Chapter II of C(2001)107/FINAL, which states that amendments made to the “Basel lists” of wastes will be incorporated into the “OECD lists”of wastes if there is no objection. Since no objection has been raised from OECD Member countries about the incorporation of the Basel amendments adopted at the 6th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties, these amendments have been transposed into Appendices 3 and 4 (OECD Green and Amber lists of wastes) of the OECD Decision.
