The OECD Decision [OECD/LEGAL/0266] provides a simplified and efficient framework for controlling the transboundary movement of wastes destined for recovery within OECD Member countries, incorporating specific procedures such as time limits, tacit consent, and pre-consent mechanisms.
The Guidance Manual for the Control of Transboundary Movements of Recoverable Wastes offers detailed explanations on how to implement the OECD Decision. This updated version replaces the 2009 edition of the Guidance Manual, which has been revised to reflect successive amendments to the OECD Decision, particularly changes to waste lists as well as to update references to OECD Legal Instruments.
