(2) Opinion delivered on 29 April 1998 (OJ C 169, 16. 6. 1999). (3) Opinion of the European Parliament of 17 July 1997 (OJ C 286, 22. 9. 1997, p. 23), Council common position of 4 June 1998 (OJ C 333, 30. 10. 1998, p. 1 ) and Decision of the Euro- pean Parliament of 9 February 1999 (OJ C 250, 28. 5. 1999).

(4) Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 17(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 provides that if such confirmation is not received, the Commission is to make appropriate proposals to the Council; whereas it is therefore necessary to establish, on a Community-wide basis, a system to regulate trade in such waste from the Community by establishing the appropriate common rules and procedures relating to exports thereof; (5) Whereas, in the case of countries which have replied that they do not wish to receive some or all types of waste listed in Annex II to the said Regula- tion, their will must be respected and therefore those types of waste cannot be exported to those countries; (6) Whereas, in the case of countries which have not replied, implying silence cannot be taken as consent and therefore it is appropriate to adopt a similar regulatory framework in order to enable such countries to evaluate such shipments on a case-by-case basis; (7) Whereas, in the case of countries which have replied that they do not wish to receive some or all types of waste listed in Annex II or have not replied, the possibility exists that they will change their position, or will reply in the future, and a mechanism must, therefore, exist within a comi- tology procedure, to change this Regulation; (8) Whereas the Commission will, as soon as possible and at the latest before 1 July 1998, review and amend Annex V to Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 taking into full consideration those wastes featuring on the list of wastes adopted in accordance with Article 1(4) of Council Directive 91/689/EEC of 12 December 1991 on hazardous waste (6), and any list of wastes characterised as hazardous the purposes of the Basel Convention, and will adapt Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 accordingly; for (5) OJ L 220, 25. 8. 1994, p. 15.

The Commission may determine, after consul- tation with the country of destination, as appropriate, and in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18 of Directive 75/442/EEC, which of the procedures referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article shall apply. The Commission shall, 5. in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18 of Directive 75/ 442/EEC, regularly review Annexes A and B of this Regu- lation, in order to bring them into line with the amend- ments made to the Annexes to Regulation (EEC) No 259/93. Article 4 The control procedures established by this Regulation shall be subject to periodic review by the Commission and for the first time no later than nine months following its publication in the Official Journal, taking into account the experience gained. If the results of the review lead to the conclusion that it would be appropriate, the Commis- sion may, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 3, make new proposals to the Council. Article 5 The Commission, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18 of Directive 75/442/EEC, shall, as soon as possible, review and amend this Regulation in order to bring it into line with Regulation (EEC) No 259/93.
