Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006, commonly known as the Waste Shipment Regulation, establishes systems to monitor and control the shipment of waste within, into and out of the Community. The Regulation states that its main objective is protection of the environment, and that its effects on international trade are only incidental. It replaced the previous Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 on the supervision and control of shipments of waste within, into and out of the European Community. Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 streamlines the previous control procedures, incorporated changes in international law and strengthens the provisions on enforcement and cooperation between Member States in case of illegal shipments.
