Notes
1 Annex V applies without prejudice to Directives 91/689/EEC and 2006/12/EC.

2 Annex V consists of three parts, Parts 2 and 3 of which apply only when Part 1 is not applicable.

3 Wastes listed in List B of Annex V Part 1 or which are among the non-hazardous waste listed in Annex V Part 2 (i.e. wastes not marked with an asterisk) are covered by the export prohibition if they are contaminated by other materials to an extent which (a) increases the risks associated with the waste sufficiently to render it appropriate for submission to the procedure of prior written notification and consent, when taking into account the hazardous characteristics listed in Annex III to Directive 91/689/EEC; or (b) prevents the recovery of the waste in an environmentally sound manner.
