This proposal for a regulation was approved by the European Parliament with the amendments
adopted at the sitting of 16 November 1996, together with the following compromise
amendment:
- the Commission must draw up as soon as possible an Annex IIa listing the wastes appearing
on the list of hazardous waste as adopted by Council Decision (EC) 94/904 (and which are not
listed in Annex III or IV of this regulation) and exports of which will also be prohibited from 1
January 1998 onwards.
This amendment replaces the amendment adopted at the plenary sitting of 16 November 1996
which prohibited exports of all wastes listed in Annex I and II of the Basel Convention, and those
set out in Decision 94/904/EC.�
