Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

The Minister has declared OECD Decision C(2001)107/FINAL an “Article 11 arrangement” under subsection 4C(1) of the Hazardous Waste (Regulation of Exports and Imports) Act 1989. This changes that decision’s legal status within the Act’s framework, affecting persons and businesses regulated by the Act by bringing the decision into Australia’s export/import hazardous‑waste regime. The declaration itself does not set operational rules, costs or enforcement detail — those follow from the Act’s application of Article 11 arrangements.
