(2) Adequate planning of waste shipment inspections is necessary to establish the capacity and efficiency needed for waste shipment inspections in the Member States and effectively prevent illegal shipments. The provisions on enforcement and inspections in Article 50 of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 should therefore be strengthened with a view to ensuring a systematic approach for regular and consistent planning of inspections. Planning should include a number of key elements, including analysis, risk assessments, strategies, objectives, priorities, numbers and types of planned inspections, the facilities for collection, storage and sorting of waste, assignment of tasks, means of cooperation between authorities, ands well as provisions on training of inspectorand qualification of the controlling and inspecting bodies.
