Shipments of waste, Basel Convention 1989 and OECD Decision 1992
2003/0139(COD)
A political agreement on a draft Regulation relating to the shipment of waste and which aims to replace Regulation 259/93/EEC, could not be finalised, since one delegation maintained a general scrutiny reservation.
Because of differing views between the Commission and delegations on the legal basis, decisions
on any modification of the proposal require unanimity.
It should be recalled that the Commission proposes Articles 133 and 175(1) whereas delegations consider that Article 175(1) is the proper legal basis.
