Implementation of the Waste Shipment Regulation

Every three years, the Commission must report on the implementation of the regulation. Please see below for prior documentation.

The Waste Shipment Regulation requires EU Member States and the Commission to nominate correspondents who are responsible for informing or advising persons or undertakings making enquiries related to the implementation of the Regulation.

Please find the most recently updated list of correspondents here.

In the past, correspondents had meetings where the minutes were publicly available. See here.
