THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 on shipments of waste [^1] , and in particular Article 58(1) thereof,

Whereas:

**(1)** The agreement of the eighth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal, 27 November-1 December 2006, necessitates amendments of Annexes IA, IB, VII and VIII of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 on shipments of waste. The amendments concern the replacement of ‘kg’ and ‘litre’ by ‘Tonnes (Mg)’ and ‘m 3 ’ in block 5 of the notification document in Annex IA, blocks 5 and 18 of the movement document in Annex IB and blocks 3 and 14 of the consignment information in Annex VII, the insertion of a new block 17 in the movement document, an amendment of footnote 1 of the consignment information and references to guidelines on environmentally sound management in items I.4-9 of Annex VIII. For the sake of clarity these Annexes should be replaced.

**(2)** Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.

**(3)** The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 18 of Directive 2006/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council [^2] ,
