Abstract: | The present study evaluates the implementation of the EC Directive concerning transfrontier movements of hazardous wastes. Two of the identified bottlenecks, i.e. “the surplus of forms” and “too long delay in returning forms,” were studied in greater detail. A comparison of the forms used in the international waste transport in Europe showed a redundancy of information in comparison with the EC form. This indicates substantial cost savings when the existing forms are replaced by a “single administrative document”, for which the EC form can serve as an example. |
