   Operative part of the judgment
   The Court:
   
               1.
            
            
               Declares that, by adopting and maintaining in force Legislative Decree No 36 of 13 January 2003, as amended, which transposes Council Directive 1999/31/EC of 26 April 1999 on the landfill of waste into national law,
               
                           —
                        
                        
                           in so far as that legislative decree does not provide for the application of Articles 2 to 13 of Directive 1999/31 to landfills authorised subsequent to the date of expiry of the period for transposition of that directive and prior to the date of the entry into force of the legislative decree, and
                        
                     
                           —
                        
                        
                           in so far as it does not secure the transposition of Article 14(d)(i) of that directive,
                        
                     the Italian Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 2 to 14 of Directive 1999/31;
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Orders the Italian Republic to pay the costs.
