This is the original version (as it was originally adopted).
The waste reception and handling plans shall cover all types of waste from ships normally visiting the port and shall be developed according to the size of the port and the types of ships calling at that port.
The waste reception and handling plans shall include the following elements:
an assessment of the need for port reception facilities, in light of the needs of ships normally visiting the port;
a description of the type and capacity of port reception facilities;
a description of the procedures for the reception and collection of waste from ships;
a description of the cost recovery system;
a description of the procedure for reporting alleged inadequacies of port reception facilities;
a description of the procedure for ongoing consultations with port users, waste contractors, terminal operators and other interested parties; and
an overview of the type and quantities of waste received from ships and handled in the facilities.
The waste reception and handling plans may include:
a summary of relevant national law and the procedure and formalities for the delivery of the waste to port reception facilities;
an identification of a point of contact in the port;
a description of the pre-treatment equipment and processes for specific waste streams in the port, if any;
a description of methods for recording the actual use of the port reception facilities;
a description of methods for recording the amounts of the waste delivered by ships;

The procedures for reception, collection, storage, treatment and disposal should conform in all respects to an environmental management scheme suitable for the progressive reduction of the environmental impact of these activities. Such conformity is presumed if the procedures are in compliance with Regulation (EC) No 1221/2009 of the European Parliament and the Council(1).
