ADDITIONAL GREEN LISTED WASTE AWAITING INCLUSION IN THE RELEVANT ANNEXES TO THE
BASEL CONVENTION OR THE OECD DECISION AS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 58(1)(b)
1. Regardless of whether or not wastes are included on this list, they may not be subject to the general information
requirements laid down in Article 18 if they are contaminated by other materials to an extent which:
(a) increases the risks associated with the wastes sufficiently to render them appropriate for submission to the
procedure of prior written notification and consent, when taking into account the hazardous characteristics
listed in Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 1 ); or
(b) prevents the recovery of the wastes in an environmentally sound manner.
2. The following wastes are included in this Annex:
BEU01 Pressure sensitive adhesive label laminate waste containing raw materials used in label material production not
covered by Basel entry B3020
BEU02 Non-separable plastic fraction from the pre-treatment of used liquid packages
BEU03 Non-separable plastic-aluminium fraction from the pre-treatment of used liquid packages
BEU04 Composite packaging consisting of mainly paper and some plastic, not containing residues and not covered
by Basel entry B3020
BEU05 Clean biodegradable waste from agriculture, horticulture, forestry, gardens, parks and cemeteries
3. The shipments of waste listed in this Annex are without prejudice to the provisions of Council Directive
2000/29/EC ( 2 ), including measures adopted pursuant to Article 16(3) thereof.
( 1 ) OJ L 312, 22.11.2008, p. 3.
