Abstract
On 21 June 2007, the Court (First Chamber) clarified Regulation No. 259/93 on shipment waste. Thereby, the court issued a preliminary ruling under article 234 EC answering questions posed by a Dutch court. The ECJ stressed that waste exported to third countries for recovery must be notified to national authorities if it does not feature on official waste lists, even when its components are listed separately and do not need notification.
