The “Measures for the Management of Hazardous Waste Transfer” clarified the general responsibilities of the parties involved in the transfer of hazardous wastes, increasing the responsibility of the person moving out, the carrier, the recipient, the shipper. Further, it specified the transfer management requirements through the entire transfer line from sender to receiver.

The measures made clear that the transfer of hazardous wastes follows the principle of proximity, to reduce large-scale, long-distance transport. Also, they strengthen information management and establish a traceable system, including collection, transfer, disposal and monitoring.
