THE COUNCIL,

Having regard to article 5 a) of the Convention on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development of 14 December 1960;

Having regard to the Decision of the Council of 30 March 1992 concerning the Control of Transfrontier Movements of Wastes destined for Recovery Operations [C(92)39/FINAL], as amended on 23 July 1993 [C(93)74/FINAL], on 28-29 July 1994 [C(94)153/FINAL and C(94)154/FINAL], on 21 September 1995 [C(95)155/FINAL] and on 10 December 1996 [C(96)231/FINAL] which, inter alia, instructs the Environment Policy Committee "in co-operation with other relevant OECD bodies, in particular the Trade Committee, to review periodically the control system and the Lists of wastes set out in Annex 1, taking into account the criteria listed in Annex 2, and to make any proposal it deems necessary for revisions of Annex 1";

Considering that the review conducted in 1997 and 1998 indicated the need to further amend the green, amber and red Lists of wastes set out in Council Decision C(92)39/FINAL in order to take account of technical progress and experience gained by Member countries with the Control System;

Considering that the object of this amendment is to modify the Green List entries: GB 030, GE 010 and GO 040, delete the Green List entries: GA 040 to GA 110, add new Green List entries: GA 430, GC 090 to GC 170, GG 160, GJ 140 and GM 140, modify the Amber List entry: AC 020 and the Red List entry: RA 020;

Noting that no other revision of the control system set out in Decision C(92)39/FINAL was deemed necessary at this stage;

On the proposal of the Environment Policy Committee;

I. DECIDES that Appendix 3 ("Green List of Wastes"), Appendix 4 (“Amber List of Wastes”) and Appendix 5 (“Red List of Wastes”) set out in Annex 1 of Decision C(92)39/FINAL shall be replaced by those attached to this Decision.

II. INVITES Member countries to inform the OECD of measures taken in pursuance to this Decision.

Appendix 3

Regardless of whether or not wastes are included on this list, they may not be moved as Green Tier wastes if they are contaminated by other materials to an extent which (a) increases the risks associated with the waste sufficiently to render it appropriate for inclusion in the amber or red lists, when taking into account the criteria in Annex 2, or (b) prevents the recovery of the waste in an environmentally sound manner.

1. Whenever possible, the code number of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, established by the Brussels Convention of 14th June 1983 under the auspices of the Customs Co‑operation Council (Harmonized System Code) is listed opposite an entry. This code may apply to both wastes and products. This Decision does not include items which are not wastes. Therefore, the code ‑ used by customs officials in order to facilitate their procedures as well as by others ‑ is only provided here to help in identifying wastes that are listed and subject to this Decision. However, corresponding official Explanatory Notes as issued by the Customs Co‑operation Council should be used as interpretative guidance to identify wastes covered by generic headings. The indicative "ex" identifies a specific item contained within a heading of the Harmonized System Code.

The code in bold in the first column is the OECD code: it consists of two letters (one for the list: Green, Amber or Red and one for the category of waste: A,B,C...) followed by a number.

2. "Non-dispersible" does not include any wastes in the form of powder, sludge, dust or solid items containing encased hazardous waste liquids.

_____________________________________

3 In the Basel Convention household wastes ‑‑ defined as an "other waste" ‑‑ are controlled when they are subject to transfrontier movements. Therefore under this Decision all household wastes (and not just those which exhibit a hazardous characteristic) will be subject to the procedures in Section IV (Amber Tier). Until exporting countries have the legal authority to control transfrontier movements of household wastes, the provisions in Section II(4) will be applied.
