The project subject is handling the risks of adverse effects to human health and the environment by transboundary movements of waste.
The purpose of the project is to derive XML Schema based on existing Core Components and Business Information Entities for many of the information exchanges laid down by the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Waste and their Disposal. It is competent authorities, exporters of waste, importers of waste and recovery or disposal facilities which are involved in these information exchanges. The Basel Convention has been adopted on 22 March 1989. As of early 2013, 180 countries are party to the convention. |
