lpv:spoken text	"I welcome this report dealing with hazardous waste from ship scrapping. According to the EU Waste Shipment Regulation, the export of hazardous waste from the EU to non-OECD countries has been prohibited since 1998. This prohibition implements at European level the so-called ‘Ban Amendment’ to the Basel Convention (BC) on the control of transboundary movements of hazardous wastes and their disposal. Due to the manifold hazardous materials on board ships, any ship going from the EU for dismantling constitutes hazardous waste – and can thus currently only be dismantled legally within the OECD. However, this legislation is almost always systematically circumvented. According to the Commission’s impact assessment, ‘in 2009, more than 90 % of EU-flagged ships were indeed dismantled outside the OECD, mostly in South Asia (India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) through the so-called ‘beaching’ method and with significant environmental and health impacts’."@en1
