Verbringung von Abfällen in Deutschland und Europa beantragen

As a company, do you want to transport waste across national borders? Then the provisions of the EC Regulation on shipments of waste apply to you.

The shipment of waste between Member States is subject to special waste legislation requirements.

All waste for disposal and recovery that is to be shipped across national borders must always be notified and requires the consent of the authorities involved in the country of dispatch and the country of destination.

This consent can be granted below:

• Consent without conditions,
• consent with conditions
• Objection.

Exceptions to the notification requirement can be obtained from the competent authority.

The requirements for transboundary shipments of waste between Member States are laid down in Regulation (EC) No. 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 14, 2006 on shipments of waste (WSR) and in the Waste Shipment Act. These set out the requirements and conditions for such transboundary waste shipments, e.g. when and for which waste in connection with such shipments consent is required from the competent authority.

The information and documents to be submitted are listed in Annex II of EU Regulation 1013/2006.

Necessary documents to be submitted to the authority or to be carried along are listed in Regulation (EC) No. 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 14, 2006 on shipments of waste (WSR). Further information on handling, deadlines to be met and completing the forms can be found in LAGA leaflet M 25.

Approval is granted if the notification has been carried out correctly, the documents submitted are complete and no objections have been raised.

In accordance with fee item 231 of the Waste Cost Ordinance M-V (AbfKostVO M-V), fees of a maximum of EUR 12,500 are charged for the inspection of the documents, depending on the inspection effort and economic value of the intended shipment.

After receiving all the necessary documents, the authority of dispatch checks whether the notification has been carried out correctly, sends the documents to the authority of destination and all transit country authorities concerned within three working days if the assessment is positive and informs the notifier accordingly. However, the authority of dispatch may refuse to forward the documents if it requests additional documents or raises an objection to the notification within the period of three working days.

No later than three working days after receipt of the documents, including those previously requested, the competent authority of destination will send a so-called acknowledgement of receipt. Even if the notification is carried out correctly, the authority of dispatch may request further documents necessary for the assessment of the approval. However, it is obliged to forward the notification. In this case, the authority of destination may only send an acknowledgement of receipt once it has received notification from the authority of dispatch that these subsequently requested documents have also been received. No later than 30 days after the acknowledgement of receipt has been sent, all authorities involved shall issue their decision on the planned notification. This is done by

• Consent without conditions or
• Consent with conditions or
• raising an objection.

30 days after receipt of complete documents

No later than 30 days after transmission of the acknowledgement of receipt, all authorities involved submit their decision on the planned notification.
