WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2446/96 by Niall ANDREWS to the Commission. Landfill sites  


Official Journal C 072 , 07/03/1997 P. 0044 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2446/96 by Niall Andrews (UPE) to the Commission (18 September 1996)Subject: Landfill sitesHas the Commission any plans to put forward proposals for setting minimum standards for existing landfill sites, as opposed to the licensing of new sites, in order to ensure that present-day environmental standards are also applied to existing landfill sites and, if necessary, requiring the closure of unsatisfactory sites such as the Balleally dump near Lusk in Co. Dublin?Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (17 October 1996)The Commission submitted to the Council in 1991 ((COM(91) 102 as amended by COM(93) 275. )) a proposal for a directive on the landfill of waste. The objective was to ensure that the Member States adopted a homogenous policy related to landfills and that standards were harmonized throughout the Community. The Council adopted its common position on this proposal in 1995.However, the Parliament did not find the level of environmental protection sufficient and therefore, in May 1996, rejected the common position. Consequently, the proposal lapsed in August 1996, and the Commission is now preparing a new proposal.The common position had provisions for existing landfill sites. It provided that existing landfill sites were not allowed to continue to operate, unless certain steps were taken. The first step was the preparation by the operator of a conditioning plan for the site, including certain information and corrective measures needed to comply with the directive. The authorities were supposed to assess the plan, and the sites that could not be granted a permit to continue to operate were to be closed down as soon as possible. Sites that could continue to operate had to implement the conditioning plan within 10 years.The new proposal for a directive on the landfill of waste is likely to contain provisions which are similar or possibly stricter. As regards the specific landfill site 'Balleally dump', it will be up to the Irish authorities to assess whether it can continue to operate or not.
