| Comment |
As we only know what waste was exported to which country, but we no longer know how the country treated it, we are not able to fully comply with the required methodological calculation, when the import of waste destined for a given waste treatment is deducted from the amount of treated waste (for each type of treatment) and the export of waste for a given treatment is added. Therefore, the indicator deviates slightly from the methodology required by the UN. |
