HC Deb 02 March 1993 vol 220 cc101-2W
Mr. Dafis

To ask the President of the Board of Trade, pursuant to his answer of 9 November 1992,Official Report, column 587, if he will list the specific types of waste to which his figures refer, including the commodity codes given to those substances.

Mr. Eggar

The figures which I gave previously refer to wastes on the EC red and amber lists, which contain elements that may be hazardous. Red and amber list wastes are identified in EEC council regulation No. 259/93 of 1 February, published in theOfficial Journal of the European Communities of 6 February. Statistics on the exports of these wastes are publically available. They can be obtained from the appointed marketing agents for HM Customs and Excise, by reference to the commodity codes listed in Business Monitor MA2I "Guide to the Classification of Overseas Trade Statistics", a copy of which is available in the House of Commons Library.
