Sodelovanje med EU in Afriko

This workshop aimed to establish a network between European and African countries and launch the SBC E-waste Africa project's enforcement component. Key outcomes included a commitment to create a sustainable network in Africa to combat the illegal shipment of waste, particularly e-waste.

The report documents a two-week training event hosted by IMPEL on e-waste inspection and enforcement for 19 officers from Benin, Egypt, Ghana, and Nigeria. The training included theoretical sessions, practical exercises, and field trips to ports and e-waste facilities in the Netherlands and Belgium. The goal was to equip African officials to prevent illegal e-waste shipments and improve monitoring

The report describes a follow-up project to the SBC E-waste Africa project. It focuses on establishing and maintaining contact with African competent authorities to assess the situation regarding e-waste imports from the EU, understand import restrictions, and agree on procedures for dealing with illegal shipments and their return

This manual aims to offer practical guidance and background information to regulatory and enforcement officers who deal with the transboundary movements of used electrical and electronic equipment (UEEE) and electrical and electronic waste (e-waste).
