Waste management is not just a local problem. As a result of economic globalization waste management has
become a cross-border problem. In the ‘80s, numerous wastes have been exported from industrialized countries by
weak economically developed countries in Africa and Asia. If the transfer of the waste and their destruction has not
been correctly done, the environmental impact has been a negative one. Mindful that danger, EU must define
cooperation frameworks and ratify international agreements to regulate and to restrict international movement of
hazardous waste, in order to protect emerging countries with inadequate legislation and to prevent hazardous
situations on environment and human health‡‡.
