Regulation (EU) 2024/1157 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 April 2024 on shipments of waste, amending Regulations (EU) No 1257/2013 and (EU) 2020/1056 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(39) In order to reduce the administrative burden and in exceptional circumstances, linked to specific geographical or demographical situations, Member States should be able to conclude bilateral agreements making the notification procedure for shipments of specific flows of waste less stringent in respect of cross-border shipments to the nearest suitable facility located in the border area between the two Member States concerned. It should also be possible for a Member State to conclude such agreements with members of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), including in a situation whereby waste is shipped from and treated in the country of dispatch but transits through another Member State.
