Abstract

With a view to meeting the requirements of European Council Directive 1999/31/EC on the landfill of waste as well as the requirements set out in articles 6 and 7 of the principal Law, the aim of the present Regulations is to provide for measures and procedures in order to prevent or reduce negative effects on the environment, in particular the pollution of surface water, groundwater, soil and air, and on the global environment (including the greenhouse effect) as well as any other risk to human health that might result from land filling of waste, during the whole life-cycle of the landfill. The Regulations make provisions for the existing landfill sites, classification of landfills, reduction of biodegradable waste produced in urban areas, the application for, conditions and content of a permit, the cost of landfills, the waste acceptance procedures, the closure and after-care procedures, control and monitoring procedures in the operational phase, the obligation to report to the European Commission.
