The Court of Justice of the European Union, by deciding the case
C-689/17, dealt with the issue of the proper classification of the
"waste" produced by a breakdown on board a
ship.
All waste intended to be moved between the Member States of the
European Union, and outside the European Union, have to be follow
the specific procedures laid down in the Regulation (EC) No
1013/2006 [14] on shipments of waste
(hereinafter, the
"Regulation").
In case of particular waste (i.e. waste intended for disposal or
for recovery), articles 4 and ff. of the Regulation provide for a
complex procedure of notification and prior written authorisations
(hereinafter, the "Notification
Procedure").
