[131] Similarly, the Austrian Federal Waste Management Plan 2001 states that "the significant increase in the volume of hazardous waste [...] is not due to the additional production of hazardous waste but rather to changes in the definition of hazard-relevant properties of waste as a result of the Ordinance on the classification of hazardous waste and hazardous household waste (Waste Classification Ordinance of 1997)".

Where a feed which has been identified as not satisfying the feed safety requirement is part of a batch, lot or consignment of feed of the same class or description, it shall be presumed that all of the feed in that batch, lot or consignment is so affected, unless following a detailed assessment there is no evidence that the rest of the batch, lot or consignment fails to satisfy the feed safety requirement.

The Union's Hazardous Waste Directive Council Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste, OJ L 377, 31.12.1991 and Packaging Directive Council Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste, OJ L 365, 31.12.1994

The Commission will pursue the following steps with all feasible speed: a) The Commission will bring maximum stringency to the full and rapid incorporation into Member State law of Council Directives 84/631/EEC and 86/279/EEC, and the full implementation of these directives in practice. b) The Commission will very shortly come forward with a new directive on hazardous waste which inter alia will strengthen directive 84/631/EEC by establishing a more precise and uniform definition of hazardous waste as well as more precise rules for the transport and elmination of waste and fuller information requirements. c) The Commission will examine whether, in the light of experience within the Community, further Community legislation is needed on the p ...[+++]rior assessment of environmental hazards and on the continuing management of sites for the dumping of hazardous waste. d) The Commission will come forward with a draft mandate for Community participation in the negotiation of the UNEP Convention on the movement of waste. e) The Commission will rapidly examine the possibilities of drawing on Community and Member State resources and expertise to establish a system to provide developing countries, where they request it, with technical and other assistance to tackle the problems posed by hazardous waste.

- EXPORTS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE - COUNCIL CONCLUSIONS "Referring to the results of the first meeting of the Contracting Parties to the Basle Convention in Uruguay and in particular Decisions I/16 and I/22 concerning the introduction of a total ban on shipments of hazardous waste to developing countries at the second meeting of the Parties; Referring also to the statement made by the Presidency on behalf of the European Community at the same meeting on 4 December 1992; Recalling that Council Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 of 1 February 1993 already provides for a ban on all exports of waste for disposal to all countries except EFTA countries a ...[+++]nd establishes strict measures for all exports of hazardous waste for recovery to countries to which the OECD decision does not apply; Recalling that Article 39 of the Lomé Convention provides for a total ban on exports of waste to ACP States, THE COUNCIL DECIDES that the Community should support and actively work for the implementation and further development of the Basle Convention; NOTES that Article 17(1) of the Convention states that: "Any Party may propose amendments to this Convention ..". and that in accordance with Article 17(2) of the Convention any amendment to the Basle Convention must be forwarded to the Contracting Parties by the Interim Secretariat of the Convention not later than six months prior to the second meeting of the Contracting Parties, which is expected to take place in February/March 1994, and accordingly INVITES the Commission to examine any circumstances justifying the call for a total ban on exports of hazardous waste covered by the Basle Convention to developing countries and to submit appropriate proposals to it at the earliest possible date.

This proposal for a directive which was adopted by the Commission on a proposal from Mr Yannis Paleokrassas, the Member with responsibility for environmental policy, aims to revise the definition of the term "hazardous waste", and to put back until 31 December 1994 the date of implementation of Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste, while at the same time deferring the date on which Directive 78/318/EEC on toxic and dangerous waste is repealed, in order to avoid a legal vacuum.
