The major achievement of this project can be classified into two parts: the international participation and the domestic implementation which conclude six aspects as follows. 1. International Participation at the global level (1) Basel Convention Partnership Programme: (A) The Mobile Phone Partnership Initiative（MPPI）, a six-year project of the Basel Convention, was formally closed at the Ninth Conference of the Parties（COP 9）in 2008. The achievements of MPPI and the contribution from us (in name of Institute of Environment and Resources, IER) to MPPI has summarized in this report. (B) For the Partnership for Action on Computing Equipment（PACE）, established under the COP 9 of the Basel Convention after eight months of preparation, the analysis for three key issues of the preparatory work, a summary of the PACE teleconferences and the recommended ways of future participation have been completed by our project. (2) Participation in the COP 9 of the Basel Convention in June, 2008: Three experts from Taiwan attended this conference. We suggested technical issues for more active participation during 2009-2011. (3) International Networking: The main communication minutes and information about the contact windows have been summarized based on our long-term involvement. 2. International Participation at regional level (Asia-Pacific) (1) The latest development of the Asia Pacific Regional E-waste Project led by Secretary of the Basel Convention and Japan’s Government has been extended to 2009. Also there is new participation from two Basel Convention Regional Centers（BCRC）and one Indian Non-Governmental Organization（NGO）. (2) We participated in five international conferences presenting three publications. The international conferences in Asia-Pacific region that four experts from Taiwan attended are the 4th and the 5th Expert Meeting on Solid Waste Management in Asian and Pacific Islands, the 3rd International Conference on Waste Management and Technology, the 5th NIES E-Waste Workshop and the JSWME 19th Annual Conference.（where JSWME: Japan Society of Waste Management Experts） (3) The Case Study regarding material flow of E-Waste of National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) in Japan has been summarized. Suggestions to Taiwan have also been made. 3. International Participation in Sustainable Material Management of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development （OECD-SMM） (1) Conference Participation: Two experts on behalf of Chinese Taipei attended the 2nd OECD Workshop on SMM sharing Taiwan’s experiences through oral presentation and papers. (2) Domestic SMM Policy and Plan Drafting: We drafted the domestic SMM Policy and Plan based on the compilation of the SMM related policies, regulations, researches and case studies. 4. Domestic Implementation of Transboundary movement（TBM）of Waste (1) We held three meetings with Basel Convention Expert Committee in 2008. In which, issues including the domestic TBM lists and reports of six international conferences regarding the Basel Convention were deliberated. (2) Our project has provided assistances to the Environmental Protection Administration in the implementation details of financial guarantees of four developed countries. We also clarified the concrete TBM case of E-waste for Basel Action Network（BAN）and updated the Chinese regulatory information as well as made suggestions for holding the international conferences in Taiwan for 2009-2010. 5. Providing legal advises on the regulations regarding TBM of waste (1) Assistance on the revision of the “Management Regulations for the Import, Export, Transit and Transshipment of Waste” has been provided. First of all, we collected and summarized current regulations including long-term planning, then helped EPA holding the public hearing on July 7, 2008 and the official announcement of the revised regulation on September 5, 2008. We also accomplished the regulation draft for the “Examination of the Import and Export Permit of the TBM of Waste.” (2) Based on the current list under article 38 in the Waste Disposal Act, we accomplished the list draft of wastes prohibited for importing. We also summarized the domestic treatment capacity of waste for future considerations. (3) The TBM regulations in Japan, China and Philippines have been collected and complied as reference materials for Taiwan EPA. 6. Collecting and promoting Basel Convention related information (1) We have completed evaluation on 120 news, articles, reports and papers regarding to the Basel Convention, E-waste and TBM of waste. (2) Both Chinese and English Basel Convention information websites were updated for 23 times (http://wm.epa.gov.tw/web/index.htm). (3) Two workshops respectively for customs brokers and domestic officials were held in 2008.
