COMMUNICATION
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that on 22 March 1989 the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal was negotiated.
The Charter on access and disposal of Czech and Slovak Federal Republic to the Basel Convention on the control of transboundary movements of hazardous waste was deposited with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the depositary of the Convention, on 24 July 1991.
The Convention entered into force on 5 May 1992 on the basis of Article 25 (1) thereof and entered into force on that date for the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic.
On 30 September 1993, the Czech Republic notified the Secretary-General of the United Nations that the Czech Republic, in its successor state of the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, is considered to be bound by the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal of 22 March 1989 with effect from 1 January 1993.
The Czech translation of the Convention is announced simultaneously.
BASILE CONVENTION ON CHECKING THE MOVEMENT OF DANGEROUS WASTE
THROUGH THE BORDER OF THE STATES AND THEIR EMPLOYMENT
PREMIUM
Contracting Parties to this Convention
aware of the risk of damage to human health and the environment caused by hazardous waste and their transboundary movement,
reminders of an increasing threat to human health and the environment caused by an increase in the production and complexity of hazardous wastes and other wastes and their transboundary movement;
also bearing in mind that the most effective way to protect human health and the environment from the risks caused by these wastes is to limit their generation to the minimum in terms of their quantity and / or potential risk,
convinced that States should take the necessary measures to ensure that the management and management of hazardous wastes and other wastes, including their transboundary movements and their handling, is in line with the protection of human health and the environment wherever they are,
note that States should ensure that the producer of waste fulfils the obligations relating to the transport and disposal of hazardous waste and other waste in a manner consistent with environmental protection wherever it is located;
fully recognising that each State has the sovereign right to prohibit the introduction into its territory of hazardous waste or other wastes of foreign origin,
recognising also the increasing efforts to achieve a ban on the movement and handling of hazardous waste across borders in other States, in particular developing countries,
Convinced that hazardous wastes and other wastes should be disposed of in the State in which they are generated, if this is compatible with environmentally sound and efficient management of them,
also aware that the movement of such waste across the borders of their countries of origin to any other State may only be authorised under conditions which do not endanger human health or the environment and which comply with the provisions of this Convention,
taking into account that increased control of transboundary movements of hazardous wastes and other wastes will act as an incentive for environmentally sound management and to limit the quantities of waste transported across borders,
Believed that States should take measures for the appropriate exchange of information on the movement and management of hazardous wastes and other wastes across their borders,
pay attention to the fact that a number of international and regional agreements concerned the protection and conservation of the environment with regard to the transport of dangerous goods,
Taking note of the Declaration of the United Nations Conference on the Environment of Man (Stockholm 1972), the Cairo Directive and the principles for the treatment of hazardous waste in an environmentally appropriate manner, adopted by the United Nations Environmental Programme Management Board (UNEP) by Decision 14 / 30 of 17 June 1987, the recommendations of the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (formulated in 1957 and updated every two years), relevant recommendations, declarations, documents and regulations, adopted under the United Nations system, work and studies carried out within other international and regional organisations,
bearing in mind the spirit, principles, objectives and function of the World Charter of Nature adopted by the United Nations General Assembly at its 37th session (1982) as an ethical standard for protecting the environment of man and preserving natural resources,
declaring that States are responsible for the fulfilment of their international obligations relating to the protection of human health and protection for the conservation of the environment and comply with international law,
Recognising that, in the event of a material breach of the provisions of this Convention or of any Protocol thereto, the relevant international law agreements will be applied,
aware of the continuous development and implementation of reliable technologies with a small amount of waste for the sake of the environment, the concept of recycling and appropriate waste handling and management systems to minimise the generation of hazardous waste and other waste,
also aware of the perilous international interest in the strict control of transboundary movements of hazardous wastes and other wastes and the need, where possible, to minimise such movements,
concerned about the problem of illicit trafficking in hazardous waste and other waste across borders,
taking into account also the limited capacity of developing countries to handle hazardous waste and other waste,
Recognising the need to promote the transfer of technologies to environmentally sound management of hazardous waste and other waste of local production, in particular developing countries in accordance with the spirit of the Cairo Directive and Decision 14 / 16 of the UNEP Governing Board on the promotion and transfer of environmental technologies,
recognising that hazardous wastes and other wastes should also be transported in accordance with relevant international conventions and recommendations,
also believes that movements of hazardous wastes and other wastes across borders should only be permitted if the shipment and final disposal of such waste are environmentally appropriate,
a decision to protect the strict control of human health and the environment against harmful effects which may be caused by the formation and management of hazardous waste and other wastes,

Transboundary movement between Contracting Parties
1. The exporting State must notify, or require, the notification of producers of waste or exporters to report in writing through the competent authority of the relevant States to the competent authority of the Member States on any proposed movements of hazardous wastes and other wastes across borders. This notification shall contain the declaration and information set out in Appendix V A, written in a language acceptable to the State of import. It is sufficient to send only one notification to each of the participating States.
2. The State of import shall notify, in writing, consent to movement, to conditions or without conditions, refusal of authorisation to move or request additional information. A copy of the final reply by the importing State shall be sent to the responsible authorities of the participating States which are Contracting Parties.
3. The State of export shall not permit the originator or exporter to commence a transit across the border until it has received a written confirmation that:
(a) the notifying has received the written consent of the State of importation; and
(b) the notifying authority has received from the importing State a certificate of the existence of a contract between the exporter and the disposal company, which must specify the correct environmental treatment of the relevant waste.
4. Each State of transit which is a Contracting Party shall, without delay, acknowledge receipt of the notification. They shall subsequently notify the notifying authority in writing within 60 days of consent to the movement with or without conditions, refusal of movement permit or request additional information. The State of export shall not permit movement across the border until it has received the written consent of the State of transit. However, whenever a Contracting Party decides not to require prior written consent either in general or under certain conditions for the transit movement of hazardous wastes and other wastes across borders or changes its requirements in this respect, it shall inform the other Contracting Parties without delay of its decision in accordance with Article 13. In the event that no reply is received by the exporting State within 60 days of receipt of the notification from the transit State, the exporting State may authorise the start of export via the transit State.
5. Only in the case of transboundary movements of waste where the waste is legally defined or is considered hazardous, shall:
(a) for the exporting State, the requirements of paragraph 9 of this Article concerning the importer and the remover shall apply to the exporter and the exporting State;
(b) the requirements of paragraphs 1, 3, 4 and 6 of this Article applicable to exporters and the State of export shall apply to the States of import and transit which are Contracting Parties, to the mutatis mutandis and to the State of importation, or
(c) for each State of transit which is a Contracting Party, the measure of paragraph 4 must apply to that State.
6. The State of export may, on the basis of the written consent of the participating Contracting States, authorise the producer or exporter of waste to use a general notification where hazardous wastes or other wastes with the same physical and chemical characteristics are regularly transported to the same disposal company, the same customs office of exit of the exporting State, the same customs office of entry of the importing State and, in the case of transit, the same entry and exit customs office of the State or States of transit.
7. Participating States may give their written consent to the use of the general notification referred to in paragraph 6, subject to the supply of certain information, such as the exact quantities or periodic lists of hazardous wastes and other wastes to be sent.

9. The Contracting Parties shall require that any person responsible for the movement of hazardous waste and other waste across national borders sign a movement accompanying note either on dispatch or receiving the relevant waste. They shall also require that the remover inform both the exporter and the competent authority of the exporting State of the acceptance of the relevant waste and of the service procedure for the end of disposal as specified in the notification. If the exporting State does not receive this information, the competent authorities of the exporting State must inform the importing State.
10. The notification and answers required by this Article shall be transmitted to the competent authorities of the Contracting Parties or to the State Office which may be appropriate in the case of a non-Contracting Party.
11. Any movement of hazardous wastes and other wastes across borders shall be covered by insurance, guarantee or other guarantees which may be required by the State of import or by any transit State which is a Contracting Party.
Transboundary movement from a Contracting Party through non-Contracting Parties
Paragraph 1 of Article 6 of this Convention shall apply mutatis mutandis to movements of hazardous wastes and other wastes across borders from both the Contracting Party and the State or States which are not Contracting Parties.
Obligation to re-import
When the movement of hazardous or other waste across borders to which the States concerned have been authorised in accordance with the provisions of this Convention cannot be completed under the terms of the contract, the State of export must ensure that the waste concerned is returned by the exporter to the State of export if it cannot be carried out in an alternative manner appropriate to the protection of the environment within 90 days of the date of notification by the State of importation by the State of export and the Secretariat, or within a period of time agreed by the States concerned. The State of import and none of the Contracting Parties to the transit may oppose, impede or impede the return of such waste to the State of export.
Illegal trade
1. For the purposes of this Convention, any movement of hazardous wastes and other wastes across national borders
(a) without notification made pursuant to the provisions of this Convention to all participating States,
(b) without consent in accordance with the provisions of this Convention from the State concerned,
(c) with consent obtained from participating States by falsification, misinterpretation or fraud,
(d) if the transport of the material does not correspond to the documents;
(e) where the results of the planned disposal (e.g. by mislandfilling) of hazardous waste and other waste are contrary to this Convention and the general principles of international law;
will be treated as illegal trade.
2. In the case of transboundary movements of hazardous wastes and other wastes, where considered to be illegal trade as a result of action by an exporter or producer, the State of export shall ensure that:
(a) the waste has been returned to or, if necessary, to the exporter or producer State of export, or, if impracticable, to him;
(b) have been disposed of in another way in accordance with the provisions of this Convention within 30 days of the date when the State of export has been informed of illegal trade or within a period of time on which the participating States may agree. Therefore, the parties concerned must not oppose, impede or impede the return of such waste to the State of export.
3. In the case of transboundary movements of hazardous wastes and other wastes, where such movements are considered to be illegal trade as a result of the behaviour of the importer or disposal operator, the State of import shall ensure that the waste in question is disposed of by the importer or disposal operator in an appropriate manner in terms of environmental protection; where necessary, within 30 days of the date of notification of illegal trade by the State of importation or during a period which the participating States may agree. Therefore, the parties involved must cooperate, as appropriate, in the disposal of waste in an appropriate way in terms of environmental protection.
4. In cases where liability for illegal trade cannot be attributed either to exporters or to originators or importers or to removers, participating Contracting Parties or other Contracting Parties, according to their jurisdiction, by mutual cooperation, they shall ensure that the waste concerned is disposed of as soon as possible in a manner compatible with the environment either in the exporting State or in the importing State or elsewhere where appropriate.
5. Each Party must establish its own national (domestic) legislation to prevent and punish illegal trade. Participating States shall cooperate with a view to achieving the objectives of this Article.
International cooperation
1. The Contracting Parties must cooperate with each other in order to improve and achieve good environmental management of hazardous waste and other wastes.
2. To this end, the Contracting Parties shall:
(a) make available, upon request, information either on a bilateral or multilateral basis, taking into account the environmental management of hazardous and other wastes, including compliance with technical standards and procedures for the proper management of hazardous waste and other wastes;
(b) cooperate in monitoring the effects of hazardous waste management and other waste on human health and the environment;
(c) cooperate on the basis of their national laws, regulations and other measures in the development and implementation of new small-scale waste technologies, which are environmentally sound, in improving existing technologies with a view to eliminating, where feasible, the production of hazardous waste and other wastes and the achievement of more efficient and efficient methods of good environmental management, including the study of the effects of economic and social and environmental impacts on the introduction of such new or improved technologies;
(d) actively cooperate on the basis of their national laws, regulations and other measures in the transmission of technologies and systems relating to the proper management of hazardous and other wastes from the environment. It is also necessary to cooperate in developing technical competence between the Parties, in particular those which may need or require technical assistance in this field;
(e) cooperate in developing appropriate technical guidelines and / or recommended practices.
4. In view of the needs of developing countries, cooperation between the Parties and relevant international organisations will be encouraged, inter alia, in expanding public awareness, developing the correct management of hazardous waste and other waste and adopting new small waste technologies.
Bilateral, multilateral and regional agreements
1. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 4 (5), Contracting Parties may conclude bilateral, multilateral and regional agreements or conventions concerning transboundary movements of hazardous wastes or other wastes with Contracting Parties or non-Contracting Parties, provided that such agreements or conventions do not deter the proper management of hazardous wastes and other wastes from the environment as required by this Convention. Such agreements or conventions shall contain measures which are not less environmentally effective than those provided for in this Convention, with particular regard to the interests of developing countries.
2. The Contracting Parties shall inform the Secretariat of any bilateral, multilateral and regional agreements or conventions, in relation to paragraph 1, and those concluded before the entry into force of this Convention, with a view to managing the movement of hazardous wastes and other wastes across borders occurring exclusively within the Contracting Parties under such agreements. The provisions of this Convention shall not affect transboundary movements which are carried out under such agreements, provided that such agreements comply with the correct management of hazardous wastes and other wastes from an environmental perspective as required by this Convention.
Consultation on financial liabilities
The Parties must cooperate in order to adopt, as quickly as possible, a protocol setting out appropriate rules and procedures in the field of financial commitments and compensation for damage arising from the movement and disposal of hazardous wastes and other wastes across borders.
Transmission of information
1. The Contracting Parties shall, whenever they are aware of this, ensure that, in the event of an accident involving both transboundary movements of hazardous waste or other waste and disposal of waste likely to pose a danger to human health and the environment in other States, they are immediately informed.
2. The Contracting Parties shall inform each other through the Secretariat of:
(a) changes to the designation of competent authorities and / or focal points referred to in Article 5;
