Part B. Wastes controlled for the purpose of transboundary movement.

Questions under this part aim to record what wastes are controlled in a Party in the context of transboundary movement of waste. Different wastes are controlled in different Parties for different purposes.

Question 2a specifically seeks information only on the definition of waste applied in the control of transboundary movement of wastes. The national definition of waste used for the purpose of transboundary movement may specify for instance under what circumstances substance or wastes are required to be disposed of under the provisions of national law.

Question 2b seeks information on wastes included in a Party’s national definition of hazardous waste pursuant to Article 1 paragraph 1 (b) of the Convention that are in addition to those defined under Article 1 paragraph 1(a).

Question 2c seeks information on wastes other than those identified in the above questions 2a and 2b that are controlled for the purpose of transboundary movement of waste: wastes that are neither hazardous according to Article 1, paragraph 1(a) of the Convention nor hazardous according to the Party’s national legislation in accordance with Article 1 paragraph 1(b), nor “other wastes” pursuant to Article 1 paragraph 2 and Annex II to the Convention.

This question therefore seeks information on further wastes that are considered as wastes subject to control, for example, due to foreseen risks connected with their transboundary movements.
