Mr. Robert Jackson: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs when and how the Government informed the
European Commission of its intention to postpone the attainment of the targets set out in Article 5.2 of the Council Directive
1999/31/EC on the landfill of waste. [89274]
Mr. Meacher: Under the terms of the Landfill Directive, those member states who are to make use of the derogation to postpone the
attainment of the reductions in the landfill of biodegradable municipal waste targets by a period not exceeding four years shall
inform the Commission in advance. The final decision on whether we will make use of the derogation will be taken the year before
each target year (2005 for target year 2006, 2008 for 2009 and 2015 for 2016). If the decision is to make use of the derogation for
that target year, then the Commission will be informed accordingly.
