note23 Regardless of whether or not mixtures are included on this list (Annex IIIA), they may not be subject to the general information requirements laid down in Article 18 if they are contaminated by other materials to an extent which (a) increases the risks associated with the wastes sufficiently to render them 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 wastes in an environmentally sound manner.
note24 The entry shall not apply to Annex IIIA for exports to countries to which the OECD Decision does not apply.
