Pleas in law and main arguments

The Member States are required, under Articles 6 and 7 of the Waste Directive, as amended, and the Dangerous Waste Directive, respectively, to draw up and communicate to the Commission waste management plans.

The current situation in Italy is that the drawing up and communication of waste management plans have yet to be completed. At the present time, the Commission has yet to receive notification of all of the plans required under the two above-mentioned directives.
