The Court ruled that the shipment of meat-and-bone meal, if it is destined for recovery, is largely excluded from the scope of the provisions of the Waste Shipment Regulation (EEC) No 259/93. It is not subject to notification under that Regulation, because it features on the EU’s green list of non-hazardous wastes. The specific health rules for such animal waste of another Regulation do need to be observed. Regulation No 1774/2002 does demand that the member state of destination authorizes the transport prior to shipment.
