GREEN LIST OF WASTESRegardless of whether or not wastes are included on this list, they may not be moved as green wastes if they are contaminated by other materials to an extent which (a) increases the risks associated with the waste sufficiently to render it appropriate for inclusion in the amber or red lists, or (b) prevents the recovery of the waste in an environmentally sound manner.Whenever possible, the code number of the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System, established by the Brussels Convention of 14 June 1983 under the auspices of the Customs Cooperation Council (Harmonised System) is listed opposite an entry. This code may apply to both wastes and products. This Regulation does not include items which are not wastes. Therefore, the code — used by customs officials in order to facilitate their procedures as well as by others — is only provided here to help in identifying wastes that are listed and subject to this Regulation. However, corresponding official Explanatory Notes as issued by the Customs Cooperation Council should be used a interpretative guidance to identify wastes covered by generic headings. The indicative "ex" identifies a specific item contained within a heading of the Harmonised System code. The code in bold in the first column is the OECD code: it consists of two letters (one for the list: Green, Amber or Red and one for the category of waste: A, B, C,…) followed by a number."Non-dispersible" does not include any wastes in the form of powder, sludge, dust or solid items containing encased hazardous waste liquids.This entry covers the use of such slags as a source of titanium dioxide and vanadium.These cannot be polymerised and are used as plasticisers.GA.METAL AND METAL-ALLOY WASTES IN METALLIC, NON-DISPERSIBLE FORMThe following waste and scrap of precious metals and their alloys:The following waste and scrap of non-ferrous metals and their alloys:GB.METAL BEARING WASTES ARISING FROM MELTING, SMELTING AND REFINING OF METALSGC.OTHER WASTES CONTAINING METALSSpent catalysts excluding liquids used as catalysts:The following metal and metal alloy wastes in metallic dispersible form:GD.WASTES FROM MINING OPERATIONS: THESE WASTES TO BE IN NON-DISPERSIBLE FORMGE.GLASS WASTES IN NON-DISPERSIBLE FORMGF.CERAMIC WASTES IN NON-DISPERSIBLE FORMGG.OTHER WASTES CONTAINING PRINCIPALLY INORGANIC CONSTITUENTS, WHICH MAY CONTAIN METALS AND ORGANIC MATERIALSGH.SOLID PLASTIC WASTESIncluding, but not limited to:GI.PAPER, PAPERBOARD AND PAPER PRODUCT WASTESGJ.TEXTILE WASTESGK.RUBBER WASTESGL.UNTREATED CORK AND WOOD WASTESGM.WASTES ARISING FROM AGRO-FOOD INDUSTRIESGN.WASTES ARISING FROM TANNING AND FELLMONGERY OPERATIONS AND LEATHER USEGO.OTHER WASTES CONTAINING PRINCIPALLY ORGANIC CONSTITUENTS, WHICH MAY CONTAIN METALS AND INORGANIC MATERIALS

ANNEX VIntroductory notes1.Annex V shall apply without prejudice to Directive 75/442/EEC, as amended by Directive 91/156/EEC and Directive 91/689/EEC.2.This Annex consists of three parts, whereby parts 2 and 3 only apply when part 1 is not of application. Consequently, to determine if a specific waste is covered by Annex V of Council Regulation (EEC) No 259/93, one has to first check whether the waste features in part 1 of Annex V, if this is not the case whether it features in part 2, and if this is not the case whether it features in part 3.Part 1 is divided into two sub-sections: List A enumerating wastes which are classified as hazardous for the purposes of the Basel Convention and therefore are covered by the export ban and List B enumerating wastes which are not covered by the export ban.Thus, if a waste features in part 1, one has to check if it is enumerated in List A or in List B. Only if a waste does not feature in either List A or List B of part 1, one has to check if it features among the hazardous waste of part 2 or in part 3 and if this is the case it is covered by the export ban.3.Member States may make provisions, in exceptional cases, to determine, on the basis of documentary evidence provided in an appropriate way by the holder, that a specific hazardous waste on this Annex is excluded from the export ban referred to in Article 16, paragraph 1, of Council Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 as amended, if it does not display any of the properties listed in Annex III to Directive 91/689/EEC, taking into account, as regards H3 to H8, H10 and H11 of the said Annex, the limit values laid down in Commission Decision 2000/532/EC as amended.In such a case, the Member State concerned shall inform the envisaged importing country prior to taking a decision. Member States shall notify such cases to the Commission before the end of each calendar year. The Commission shall forward the information to all Member States and to the Secretariat of the Basel Convention. On the basis of the information provided, the Commission may make comments and, where appropriate, submit proposals to the Committee established pursuant to Article 18 of Directive 75/442/EEC with a view to adapting Annex V of Council Regulation (EEC) No 259/93.4.The fact that a waste is not listed as hazardous in this Annex, or that it is listed in part 1, list B, does not preclude, in exceptional cases, characterisation of such a waste as hazardous and therefore subject to the export ban referred to in Article 16(1), of Council Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 as amended, if it displays any of the properties listed in Annex III to Directive 91/689/EEC, taking into account, as regards H3 to H8, H10 and H11 of the said Annex, the limit values laid down in Commission Decision 2000/532/EC, as amended, as provided for in Article 1(4), second indent, of Directive 91/689/EEC and in the Header of Annex II to Council Regulation (EEC) No 259/93.In such a case, the Member State concerned shall inform the envisaged importing country prior to taking a decision. Member States shall notify such cases to the Commission before the end of each calendar year. The Commission shall forward the information to all Member States and to the Secretariat of the Basel Convention. On the basis of the information provided, the Commission may make comments and, where appropriate, submit proposals to the Committee established pursuant to Article 18 of Directive 75/442/EEC with a view to adapting Annex V of Council Regulation (EEC) No 259/93.PART 1List A (Annex VIII to the Basel Convention)

PART 2Wastes listed in the Annex to Commission Decision 2000/532/EC, as amended. Wastes marked with an asterisk are considered to be hazardous waste pursuant to Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous wasteWhen identifying a waste in the list below, the introduction to the Annex of Commission Decision 2000/532/EC as amended is relevant..
For the purpose of this list of wastes, PCBs will be defined as in Directive 96/59/ECHazardous components from electrical and electronic equipment may include accumulators and batteries mentioned in 16 06 and marked as hazardous; mercury switches, glass from cathode ray tubes and other activated glass etc.For the purpose of this entry, transition metals are: Scandium, Vanadium, Manganese, Cobalt, Copper, Yttrium, Niobium, Hafnium, Tungsten, Titanium, Chromium, Iron, Nickel, Zinc, Zirconium, Molybdenum and Tantalum. These metals or their compounds are dangerous if they are classified as dangerous substances. The classification of dangerous substances shall determine which among those transition metals and which transition metal compounds are hazardous.Stabilisation processes change the dangerousness of the constituents in the waste and thus transform hazardous waste into non hazardous waste. Solidification processes only change the physical state of the waste (e.g. liquid into solid) by using additives without changing the chemical properties of the waste.A waste is considered as partly stabilised if after the stalibisation process dangerous constituents which have not been changed completely into non dangerous constituents could be released into the environment in short, middle or long term.Hazardous components from electrical and electronic equipment may include accumulators and batteries mentioned in 16 06 and marked as hazardous; mercury switches, glass from cathode ray tubes and other activated glass etc.
