Sources disagree — the text comparison and the EU's own amendment metadata found this change; the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.
Two new footnote-style sentences are added to Part II stating that entry GC010 and entry GC020 apply only for waste shipped within the Union and only until 31 December 2026.
The rest of the Annex, including the entries and descriptions themselves, remains textually identical between the two versions.

Part I
Wastes listed in Annexes II and VIII to the Basel ConventionAnnex VIII to the Basel Convention is listed in this Regulation in Annex V, Part 1, List A. Annex II to the Basel Convention is listed in Annex V, Part 2, List A..
For the purposes of this Regulation:
(a) Any reference in Annex VIII to the Basel Convention to list B shall be understood as a reference to Annex III to this Regulation.
(b) In Basel entry A1010, the term excluding such wastes specifically listed on List B (Annex IX) is a reference both to Basel entry B1020 and the note on B1020 in Annex III to this Regulation, Part I(b).
(c) Basel entries A1180 and entry A2060 do shall not apply and OECD entries GC010, GC020 and entry GG040 in Annex III, Part II shall apply instead when appropriate.
(d) Basel entry A4050 includes spent potlinings from aluminium smelting because they contain Y33 inorganic cyanides. If the cyanides have been destroyed, spent potlinings are assigned to Part II entry AB120 because they contain Y32, inorganic fluorine compounds excluding calcium fluoride.
(e) Basel entry A3210 does not apply and entry AC300 in Part II applies instead.
(f) For waste shipped within the Union, Basel entry Y48 does not apply and the following entry applies instead:
EU48
Plastic waste not covered by entry AC300 in Part II or by entry EU3011 in Part I of Annex III, as well as mixtures of plastic waste not covered by point 4 of Annex IIIA.
(g) For waste shipped within the Union until 31 December 2026, Basel entry Y49 shall not apply and entries GC010 and GC020 in Annex III Part II shall apply instead where appropriate.

MODIFIED +2,429 −427 Annex V WASTE LISTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ARTICLE 39§
applies from: unchanged
Sources disagree — the text comparison and the EU's own amendment metadata found this change; the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.
Entry A1180 on List A, which covered waste electrical and electronic assemblies or scrap contaminated with certain hazardous constituents, has been replaced by a new entry A1181 describing electrical and electronic waste in more detailed terms, including waste equipment, waste components, and wastes arising from processing such equipment or components, each defined by reference to Annex I constituents and Annex III characteristics.
A corresponding new entry, Y49, has been added to List A of Part 2, describing electrical and electronic waste, waste components, and processing wastes that do not contain or are not contaminated with Annex I constituents to the extent of exhibiting an Annex III characteristic.
The prior text did not contain either the A1181 entry or the Y49 entry.

List B (Waste from Appendix 4, Part II of the OECD Decision)The wastes numbered AB130, AC250, AC260 and AC270 have been deleted since they have been considered, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18 of Directive 2006/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2006 on waste (OJ L 114, 27.4.2006, p. 9, as repealed by Directive 2008/98/EC), to be non-hazardous and therefore not subject to the export prohibition in Article 39 of this Regulation. The waste numbered AC300 has been deleted since the waste in question is covered by entry A3210 in List A of Part 1.
