Statutory instrument on international waste shipments

Document title: The International Waste Shipments (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018

Summary: Amends references to UK and EU institutions and changes EU administrative processes to UK ones; notes the UK will continue to implement its obligations under the Basel Convention by providing a regulatory framework for the control of waste shipments. Says a future statutory instrument will deal with changes to format of international communication on waste shipments, transmitting questionnaires to non-OECD states on procedures for accepting waste, updating legislation to reflect any future changes to the Basel Convention or new OECD decisions.
