2 Secretariat of the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal Notification of national definitions or significant change to national definitions pursuant to article 3 of the Basel Convention (Information reported using this form shall be regarded as formal notification pursuant to article 3 and shall be transmitted by the Secretariat of the Basel Convention to all Parties as well as Signatories) Country: SLOVAKIA Government entity completing the questionnaire: Slovak Environmental Agency, Centre of Waste and Environmental Management Address: Hanulova 5/D Telephone no: (0421-2) Fax no: (0421-2) Contact person: Katarina Lenkova Title: Telephone no: (0421-2) (if different from above) Lenkova@sazp.sk Ba_oim@sazp.sk Date when form completed(d/m/y): 08/03/2005 This report contains an updated national definition: Yes: x No

3 National Definition of Hazardous Wastes 1 Is there a definition of hazardous waste in your national legislation? Yes: x No: (If no, do not fill in the rest of the form) If yes, please provide the text of the national definition of hazardous waste (Please attach the full text of the relevant legislation): According to the Act No. 223/2001Coll. of Laws on waste and on amendment of certain acts as amended - hazardous waste shall mean waste featuring one or several hazardous characteristics listed in Annex 4 Hazardous characteristics of wastes (H codes). The Annex 4 is equal to the Annex 3 of the EU Directive 91/689/EEC. The Decree No 284/2001 Coll. of Laws enacting Waste Catalogue as amended by subsequent regulations harmonized with European Waste Catalogue distinguishes two waste categories: - non-hazardous; - hazardous. The annex 2 of this Decree refers to the Basel Convention list of hazardous waste characteristics (H codes). Hazardous wastes are considered wastes: a) Listed in Annex VIII to the Basel Convention; b) Designated as hazardous in the Waste Catalogue; c) Included in the Amber List of Wastes, or included in the Red List of Wastes; and d) Listed in Annex IX to the Basel Convention and containing substances listed in Annex I to the Basel Convention within a scope causing the occurrence of dangerous properties listed in Annex III to the Basel Convention. The annex I of the Basel Convention is used for identification of hazardous wastes in the reporting. 1a Is this a significant change to the national definition that has been previously notified to the Secretariat of the Basel Convention pursuant to article 3(2)? (NB: Information transmitted annually under article 13 (3) does not represent a notification in compliance with article 3) 1b Yes No x What is the source/ basis of this definition? Basel Convention OECD-Council Acts EU Waste Law x National Other (specify under remarks) Remarks, if necessary: The national definition of hazardous waste (before 2000) based on the Waste Act No 238/91 Coll. of Laws as amended. The list of hazardous waste characteristics listed in the EU Directive No 91/689/EEC is not harmonized with the list of hazardous waste characteristics listed in the Basel Convention.

4 2 Does the national definition of hazardous waste cover wastes other than those listed in Annexes I, II and VIII of the Basel Convention? Yes: x No: If yes, please tick the box(es) below indicating the list(s) containing such wastes and, in the table below or as an attachment, list the wastes. WCO-HS OECD EU-Waste List x National (specify under remarks) Other (specify under remarks) General remarks, if any The national Waste Catalogue covers all types of hazardous waste listed in the European Waste Catalogue. There are marked with the letter N. A waste codes ending with two digits 99 (wastes not otherwise specified) have no category. Waste holders classify their waste and eliminate unjustified waste classification into the category nonhazardous in the case, when the composition of the waste is adequately defined and based on its composition it is possible to classify this waste explicitly as hazardous one. According to the first digits of the waste code a source of generation can be identified and than to address the waste a relevant code listed in Annexes I, II, and VIII. In some cases it is not easy to address relevant Y code to a specific code considering the range of Y codes listed in the Annex 1. On the other hand sometimes it is possible to address one or more Y codes according to the Annex 1 of the Basel Convention to one code of hazardous waste listed in the EU-waste list.
