applies from: unknown (the text changed beyond its dates, so no date that moved can be read as the application date)
dates added to the text: 2026-12-31
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.
Point (c) no longer states that Basel entry A1180 does not apply, and no longer refers to OECD entry GC010 as an applicable substitute alongside GG040; it now only addresses Basel entry A2060, with OECD entry GG040 as the sole substitute.
A new point (g) has been added stating that, 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.

(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:
