Recital 25

(25) It is necessary to set the grounds for Member States to object to shipments of waste destined for recovery. In the case of such shipments, Member States should be able to ensure that the waste recovery facilities covered by Directive 2010/75/EU apply best available techniques as set out in that Directive, in compliance with the permit of the facility. Member States should also be able to ensure that waste is treated in accordance with human health and environmental protection requirements in relation to recovery operations established in Union legislation and that, taking account of Article 16 of Directive 2008/98/EC, waste is treated in accordance with waste management plans established pursuant to that Directive with the purpose of ensuring the implementation of legally binding recovery or recycling obligations established in Union legislation. A Member State of destination should therefore be able to object to shipments of waste, including shipments of mixed municipal waste, if it anticipates that the waste will not be managed in an environmentally sound manner.
