The Regulation repeals Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 and lays down rules governing the transboundary movement of waste within and outside the EU to facilitate the environmentally sound management of waste and protection of the environment and human health against the adverse impacts of the shipment of waste. It shall apply from 21 May 2026 (except for certain specified provisions).

The Regulation implements at the EU level, the Basel Convention on the control of transboundary movements of hazardous wastes and their disposal, including the Ban Amendment thereto that prohibited all exports of hazardous wastes destined for disposal and recovery operations from countries listed in Annex VII to the Basel Convention to countries not listed in that Annex. The Regulation also incorporates the OECD Decision of the Council on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Wastes Destined for Recovery Operations.

Key provisions of the regulation include:

Prohibiting shipments of waste destined for disposal within the EU, except in exceptional cases where certain conditions are fulfilled

Restricting the export of hazardous and non-hazardous waste for recovery to non-OECD countries

Combatting illegal waste transport by authorising inspections of shipments by verification of documents, confirmation of the identity of the actors involved in those shipments and, physical checking of the waste

Requiring companies to demonstrate through independent audits that their waste exports are managed in an environmentally friendly manner

Digitising submission and exchange of data for waste shipments within the EU to reduce administrative burdens

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
