JBCE submitted its views on trade in e-waste and e-scrap (Delegated Regulations amending the Waste Shipment Regulation)

16/07/2024

On 3 July, JBCE submitted its views on trade in e-waste and e-scrap in response to the proposed delegated regulations amending the Waste Shipment Regulation.

JBCE stressed the importance of (1) consistency in the classification of non-hazardous waste (Y49) by all Member State authorities and (2) clear, fair and simplified requirements for intra/extra-EU shipments. JBCE also emphasised the need for an adequate transition period in order not to hamper trade in non-hazardous waste, which will allow the EU to benefit from the recycling capacities of trading partners, which will certainly contribute to the achievement of the EU circular economy.
