8. The proposal implements the revised EU Waste Shipment Regulation.
In addition to the provisions of Article 11 of the Waste Shipment Regulation, the proposal would prohibit the shipment of waste to Finland for final disposal in a landfill. In addition, it would also prohibit final disposal in a landfill following any interim disposal operation after shipment.
9. One of the conditions in Article 11 of the Waste Shipment Regulation for the approval of a shipment for final disposal is that the principles of self-sufficiency and proximity in waste disposal, laid down in the Waste Framework Directive, are met. To apply the principles, it must be possible to ensure, on the national level, that the disposal of waste generated in Finland takes precedence. To apply the principle of self-sufficiency, it must be ensured that there is sufficient capacity in landfills for the disposal of domestically generated waste. As the circular economy is realised, waste disposal is constantly decreasing and, therefore, the capacity of existing landfills should be sufficient for as long as possible. Landfill capacity must also be maintained from the perspective of the security of supply, as a serious disruption may create a need for landfill capacity.
