On 7 May 2018, the Commission
Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/684of 4 May 2018 amending Implementing Decision
(EU) 2016/2323 to update the European List of ship recycling facilities
pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013has been published on the Official
Journal of the European Union.
The European List of ship recycling
facilities was established by the Commission Implementing Decision (EU)
2016/2323pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013on ship recycling. The purpose
of the Regulation is to prevent, reduce, minimise and, to the extent
practicable, eliminate accidents, injuries and other adverse effects on human
health and the environment caused by ship recycling, ensuring that hazardous
waste from ship recycling is subject to environmentally sound management. Ship
recycling facilities may be located both in a Member State of the European
Union and in a third country.
Several Member States have communicated
to the Commission lists of facilities they have authorised in accordance with
Article 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 to be included in the European List
of ship recycling facilities. Member States have also communicated to the
Commission updated data pertaining to facilities already included in that list.
Therefore, the Commission has decided to amend Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/2323.
With regard to ship recycling facilities
located in a third country for which an application for inclusion in the
European List has been submitted to the Commission in accordance with Article
15 of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013, the assessment of the relevant information
and supporting evidence provided or gathered is still ongoing. The Commission
will adopt implementing acts pertaining to those ship recycling facilities
located outside the Union once the assessment is finalised.
