Recital 26

(26) It is necessary to provide for procedural steps and safeguards for when a notifier wishes to ship waste subject to the procedure of prior written notification and consent, in the interests of legal certainty and to ensure uniform application of this Regulation and the proper functioning of the internal market, thereby contributing to long-term competitiveness of the Union. It is also necessary, in line with Article 6(11) of the Basel Convention, to ensure that the costs arising from situations where the shipment cannot be completed or is illegal, are borne by the relevant operators. To that end, the notifier should establish a financial guarantee or equivalent insurance for each shipment.
