This feedback recommends targeted amendments to the draft delegated regulation before its adoption. The proposed changes aim to strengthen the reliability, traceability and operational usability of the evidence supporting the country list and authorised facilities.
EU consultation
List of non-OECD countries that are authorized to import certain non-hazardous waste from the EU
7 submissions from 7 organizations told the European Commission what they think about this file. Here is what each of them said, in their own words.
The Commission received 10 submissions on this file. Shown here: the 7 from organizations. Not shown: 2 from private individuals. Their submissions are personal data; the Commission publishes them under its own legal basis, and republishing them by name here would need one we do not have. Organizations act in a public capacity, so their positions are public record. Also not shown: 1 further submissions we do not publish for other reasons: no quotable text (a comment under 250 characters and no readable paper), no organization named, or a private person who filed under their own name.

I am responding to initiative 14861, draft delegated regulation Ares(2026)8858290. I support the objective that EU waste exports must not transfer pollution, health risks or waste-management costs to receiving communities. Please revise the proposed list so that every country and waste-stream authorisation rests on demonstrated compliance, with unresolved material deficiencies addressed before inclusion.
The EU Scrap Export Restrictions & Green Protectionism The European Commissions proposal to ban metal scrap exports to non-OECD nations under the revised Waste Shipment Regulation (EU 2024/1157) represents "protectionist measures wrapped in green cloth".

Allam Group
· · filed 24 Sept 2026 · source
Allam Group GmbH is a German industrial company with manufacturing operations in Germany and Morocco, developing a materials-recovery facility in Morocco for end-of-life electric equipment and metal fractions. We support the objective of ensuring that EU waste is managed in an environmentally sound manner.
Feedback on Draft Delegated Regulation: Ref. Ares(2026)8858290 I strongly object to the preliminary exclusion of major Asian recycling hubs like India, Thailand and Malaysia from receiving metal waste for recovery under the proposed draft. Implementing this restriction on 21 May 2027 will severely harm the European circular economy while contradicting the EU's broader geopolitical trade objectives.

We support the proposal as it establishes a more rigorous and environmentally responsible framework for exporting non-hazardous waste from the EU. I particularly agree with the Commission's risk-based approach and its decision to apply stricter scrutiny to ferrous and non-ferrous metal waste due to the associated risks from heavy metals, emissions, contaminated residues, and resource-intensive treatment processes.

Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed”. You read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
