Recital 34

(34) With a view to providing transparency as regards the carrying out of shipments of waste in accordance with this Regulation and the environmentally sound manner of the treatment of such waste at its destination, information concerning shipments of waste should be published. In that regard, the Commission should be required to publish and regularly update certain non-confidential data on notifications of shipments that have been consented or objected to by the competent authorities, as well as on shipments of waste subject to the general information requirements of this Regulation. For that purpose, the Commission should use, to the extent possible, the electronic system for the exchange of data on shipments of waste. The publication of such information by the Commission should be without prejudice to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters of 25 June 1998 (Aarhus Convention) (18) and Directive 2003/4/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (19) and national legislation of Member States in this field. Any further requests to competent authorities on access to other information concerning shipments of waste should be addressed in accordance with that Convention and Union and national legislation.
