uin	125885
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2018 answer text <p>Businesses involved in the shipment of wastes are required to take all necessary steps to ensure that the waste they ship is managed in an environmentally sound manner throughout its shipment and during its recycling. Exporters accredited to issue PERNs are required to provide suitable evidence that the sites to which they send waste are operating to standards broadly equivalent to those of EU countries.</p><p> </p><p>The UK environmental regulators take an intelligence led approach to checking compliance with these obligations focusing on specific problematic wastes. Enforcement activity occurs in transit, at roadsides and at ports. However, the regulators continue to focus significant effort on identifying, stopping and intervening at source prior to illegal exports taking place.</p><p> </p><p>The regulators also provide easily understood guidance for those responsible for exporting waste which allows anyone involved in the export of waste to determine which wastes can be legitimately exported to which countries and the procedures they must follow to do things legally.</p><p> </p><p>Last year the Environment Agency issued 130 stop notices, prohibiting the export of unsuitable waste. It also stopped 4,565 tonnes of waste destined for illegal export at ports and intervened further upstream to prevent a further 15,113 tonnes of waste from reaching our ports. This work ensures we are not exporting our problem wastes for unsuitable treatment or disposal.</p><p> </p><p>We cannot ultimately dictate how UK waste is managed once it leaves the UK. There is a system of international rules on shipments which must be followed. The authorities in countries that receive UK waste also need to be clear about the types of waste they will accept and the waste import procedures they require exporters to adhere to.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 07/02/2018 12:13:59 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
