Substantial flows occur from developing to developed countries
In addition to flows of e-waste from developed to developing countries, there are also substantial flows from developing to developed countries. The Guidelines should refer to both scenarios.
“StEP would also like to remind that there is also substantial exporting in the other direction as well, from developing countries to the developed world, due to the lack of environmental y sound treatment alternatives.”

From p. 6 of response by Solve the E-waste Problem (StEP) to Basel Secretariat. 2012. ‘Draft Technical Guidelines on Transboundary Movement of E-Waste, in Particular Regarding the Distinction between Waste and Non-Waste (Version of 27 September 2012)’. http://www.basel.int/Portals/4/download.aspx?d=UNEP-CHW-OEWG.8-INF-9-Rev.1.English.doc.
