Regulation (EU) 2024/1157 on shipments of waste (Article 41) introduced a prohibition on the export of non-hazardous waste from the EU to non-OECD countries, which will enter into force on 21 May 2027. The Regulation also provides for the possibility to derogate from this prohibition for countries that have applied to be included in a list (established by the European Commission) and that have demonstrated the exported waste will be managed in an environmentally sound manner in their territory, with human health, climate and environmental protection requirements equivalent to those of the EU. Article 42 and Annex VIII of the Regulation lay down the application procedure and the information the countries needed to provide in their application. The European Commission assessed the applications and proposes this draft Delegated Regulation to establish the list of countries to which the OECD Decision does not apply and to which exports of non-hazardous wastes and mixtures of non-hazardous wastes from the Union for recovery are authorised, in accordance with Article 41.
