Numéro de référence C-6/03 Langue Allemand Sujet Environnement gén., Déchets et substances dangereuses Mot clé Sécurité environnementale Normes relatives aux rejets d'effluents Préservation de l'écosystème Eaux usées (source industrielle) Résumé Germany's environment Ministry strongly welcomed a ruling by the ECJ rejecting complaints against Germany's waste dumping law. The judgement confirms that member states can impose curbs stricter than those in EC Landfill directive 1999/31. The ruling responds to questions posed by a German court following a legal challenge by landfill operator (Deponiezweckverband Eiterköpfe). German law makes it illegal from 1 July 2005 to landfill wastes that have not undergone incineration or mechanical-biological treatment. The company complained that this exceeds measures specified in the EU directive and imposes a disproportionate burden on operators. In line with the legal opinion of AG Colomer (also available in the EEL case law database), the ECJ has rejected these complaints. German law imposes stricter and earlier limits on biodegradable content of more wastes going to landfill than the EC directive, but under Article 176 of the EC Treaty this is permissible. The EU legal principle of proportionality is not applicable in this case, it adds. Texte intégral Deponiezweckverband Eiterköpfe v.
