29At the outset, it should be borne in mind that, according to Article 1(1) of Regulation No 1013/2006 and recital 7 thereto, that regulation establishes procedures and control regimes for the shipment of waste in a way which takes account of the need to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the environment and human health. In particular, it follows from Articles 3(1) and 4(1) of that regulation, read in conjunction with recital 14 thereto, that shipments between Member States of waste for disposal or dangerous waste must be subject to prior written notification to the competent authorities enabling them to take all necessary measures for the protection of human health and the environment (see, to that effect, judgments Ragn-Sells, C‑292/12, EU:C:2013:820, paragraph 52, and Shell Nederland and Belgian Shell, C‑241/12 and C‑242/12, EU:C:2013:821, paragraph 32).
