FEAD blames the increase in the generation of hazardous waste on economic and legislative development

Residuos Profesional – 19 January 2023 – The European Parliament has approved its negotiating position on revisions to the procedures and control measures for waste shipments following a debate on Monday. After the proposals were adopted with 594 votes in favour, five against and 43 abstentions, the European Parliament says MEPs are now ready to start negotiations with EU member states. European private waste management trade association FEAD said the proposed exports regime was seen as a “de facto export ban” and it was “very concerned” about the outcome of the vote related to plastic waste shipments.
