The following wastes will be subject to the procedure of prior written notification and consent:
Wastes listed in Annexes II and VIII to the Basel Convention(2).
For the purposes of this Regulation:
Any reference to list B in Annex VIII to the Basel Convention shall be understood as a reference to Annex III to this Regulation.
In Basel entry A1010, the term ‘excluding such wastes specifically listed on List B (Annex IX)’ is a reference both to Basel entry B1020 and the note on B1020 in Annex III to this Regulation, Part I(b).
Basel entries A1180 and A2060 do not apply and OECD entries GC010, GC020 and GG040 in Annex III, Part II apply instead when appropriate.
Basel entry A4050 includes spent potlinings from aluminium smelting because they contain Y33 inorganic cyanides. If the cyanides have been destroyed, spent potlinings are assigned to Part II entry AB120 because they contain Y32, inorganic fluorine compounds excluding calcium fluoride.
The following wastes will also be subject to the procedure of prior written notification and consent:
