The EU Member States are currently governed by the Transfrontier Shipment of Waste (EEC) 1013/2006 Regulations.

This set of Regulations covers virtually all types of waste shipped between countries that have ratified the Basel Convention.

Wastes that pose the lowest threat to humans and the environment are designated as Green-listed waste, which have the least controls.

Wastes posing a medium threat to humans and the environment are those that contain noxious chemicals or poisons, which fall onto the Amber waste list and are subject to a much more stringent set of procedures - Notification, prior authorisation, guarantees and insurances, tracking and auditing.
