Transboundary movement of e-waste should be primary issue
The distinction between waste and non-waste is important but subordinate to a broader issue: the transboundary movement of e-waste.

BAN's comments on the Draft Technical Guidelines of 22 September 2010 suggest a title change for the guideline document from "Draft Technical Guidelines on Transboundary Movement of E-waste, in Particular Regarding the Distinction Between Waste and Non-Waste" to "Draft Technical Guidelines on Transboundary Movement of E-waste". BAN's comments note that the distinction between waste and non-waste, "should not be the primary purpose or singled out. While this is an important matter, the document needs to be comprehensive."
