The questions were raised in proceedings between Abfall Service AG (ASA) and the Bundesminister, Jugend und Familie concerning the legality of a decision by which the Bundesminister (Federal Minister) had objected to a shipment of waste planned by Abfall Service. The waste was to be deposited in a former salt-mine at Kochendorf, Germany, to secure hollow spaces (mine-sealing). The ground of objection was that the planned shipment constituted a disposal operation and not a recovery operation. The court held that the competent authority of dispatch was competent to verify whether a proposed shipment classified in the notification as a shipment of waste for recovery did in fact correspond to that classification and the deposit of waste in a disused mine did not necessarily constitute a disposal operation for purposes of Council Directive 75/442/EEC of 15 July 1975 on waste. The deposit therefore had to be assessed on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the operation was a disposal or a recovery operation within the meaning of that Directive. A deposit constituted a recovery if its principal objective was that the waste served a useful purpose in replacing other materials which would have had to be used instead.
