The Secretariat sent the revised questionnaire on ‘transmission of information’ to Parties to report data and information for the year 2001. The Secretariat was able to send the questionnaire with its first part pre-filled to those Parties which had reported for the year 2000. As at 5 November 2003, the cut-off-date to compile the information provided by Parties, 1041 Parties had updated/completed the questionnaire. Thirty-eight2 Parties did not report for the year 2001. The data and information provided by Parties for the year 2001 is compiled by the Secretariat and is presented in two parts, namely: - Compilation Part I: Status of Information; National reporting under the Basel Convention (2001) - Compilation Part II: Annual Reporting; National reporting under the Basel Convention (2001) For reasons of economy, the compilation Part I is made available only on the Secretariat’s web site (www.basel.int). Compilation Part II is made available as a publication as well as on the Secretariat’s web site. Compilation Part I includes information such as control procedures for the transboundary movement of waste; effects on human health and the environment; disposal and recovery facilities and sources of technical and financial assistance. It also provides references for sources of information such as designated competent authority and focal point; national definition of waste; national definition of hazardous waste; restrictions on transbounday movement of hazardous wastes and 1 Algeria, Andorra, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belgium, Benin, Botswana, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burundi, Cambodia, Canada, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Denmark, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Estonia, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Gambia (The), Georgia, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Iran (Islamic Republic of), Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Malaysia, Maldives, Malta, Mauritius, Mexico (Not included in the Compilations Part I and Country Fact Sheets due to insufficient information), Micronesia (Federated States of), Monaco, Mongolia, Morocco, Mozambique, Netherlands, New Zealand, Niger, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Panama, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Republic of Korea, Republic of Moldova, Romania, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Serbia and Montenegro, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland (also reported on export/import for Liechtenstein), Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Zambia. 2 Albania, Belize, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Chile, Comoros, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Honduras, India, Jordan, Kenya, Kiribati, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liechtenstein (Switzerland reported on its export/import), Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Namibia, Nepal, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Philippines, Russian Federation, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Seychelles, Syrian Arab Republic, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, United Republic of Tanzania, Viet Nam, Yemen.

While every effort has been made by the Secretariat to ensure that the information provided by Parties is compiled and printed error free, the volume, complexity and evolutionary nature of the information provided is such that there may be inaccuracies. The Secretariat continues to strive to improve the presentation and dissemination of information and would greatly appreciate feedback from Parties regarding any correction of information printed in this document. The Secretariat acknowledges and appreciates every effort made by Parties to fulfil the reporting requirements of the Convention and look forward to the continued cooperation of Parties on this matter.
