Recital 1
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 on shipments of waste13 lays down requirements for shipments of waste both within the Union and between the Member States and third countries, in order to protect the environment. However, gaps and divergences have been identified in the enforcement and inspections carried out by the competent authorities in Member States due to, inter alia, a lack of clear provisions in the Regulation on these matters. __________________ 13The number of contraventions of legislation on shipments of waste is therefore thought to be considerable. __________________ 13 OJ L 190, 12.7.2006, p.1. Regulation (EC) no 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 on shipments of waste (OJ L 190, 12.7.2006, p.1).

(2) Adequate planning of waste shipment inspections is necessary to establish the capacity needed for waste shipment inspections 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 regular and consistent planning and implementation of inspections. Planning should include a number of key elements, including risk assessments, strategies, objectives, priorities, numbers and types of planned inspections, assignment of tasks, means of cooperation between authorities and provisions on training of inspectors.

Recital 3
(3) Diverging rules exist throughout the Union as regards the possibility for competent authorities in Member States to require evidence from waste exporters in order to check the legality of shipments. Such evidence may concern whether the substance or object is "waste" within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 or whether the waste will be shipped to environmentally sound facilities according to Article 49 of the Regulation. Article 50 of the Regulation should therefore provide the possibility for competent authorities in Member States to require evidence from suspected illegal waste exporters in order to check the legality of shipments. Where the exporter is unable to provide evidence, the shipment should be deemed to be illegal.
