Directive 1999/31/EC of 26 April 1999 on the landfill of waste (OJ 1999 L 182, p.
KOMISIJA PROTI ITALIJI so bile v nacionalno pravo prenesene določbe Direktive Sveta 1999/31/ES z dne 26. aprila 1999 o odlaganju odpadkov na odlagali�čih (UL L 182, str.
1) into national law, the Italian Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Art -icles 2 to 14 of that directive.
1), ni izpolnila obveznosti iz členov od 2 do 14 te direktive.
According to Article 1 of Directive 1999/31, the aim of the directive is to provide for measures, procedures and guidance to prevent or reduce as far as possible negative effects on the environment from landfilling of waste.
V skladu s členom 1 Direktive 1999/31 je njen cilj določiti ukrepe, postopke in smernice za preprečevanje ali zmanj�evanje, kolikor je mogoče, čezmerne obremenitve okolja.
Article 2 contains a list of the definitions referred to in the directive.
Člen 2 vsebuje seznam opredelitev, na katere se sklicuje ta direktiva.
It defines, inter alia, waste and landfills, the latter meaning waste disposal sites for the deposit of the waste onto or into land.
Med drugim sta v njej navedena pojma odpadkov in odlagali�č, ki ju je treba razlagati kot odlagali�če odpadkov za odlaganje odpadkov na ali v tla.
Article 3 defines the directive’s scope, stating that it relates, in principle, to all landfills, as defined in Article 2.
V členu 3 Direktive 1999/31 je določeno področje uporabe iste direktive, s tem da določa, da se načeloma nana�a na vsa taka odlagali�ča, kot so navedena v njenem členu 2.
As regards waste and treatment not acceptable in landfills, Article 5(1) of the direct- ive provides that ‘Member States shall set up a national strategy for the implementation of the reduction of biodegradable waste going to landfills, not later than two years after the date [for transposition of the directive] and notify the Commission of this strategy’, and Article 5(2) sets timelimits for implementing that reduction of waste.
Glede odpadkov in obdelave, ki na odlagali�čih niso sprejemljivi, ta direktiva v členu 5(1) določa, da „[…] države članice pripravijo nacionalno strategijo za zmanj�evanje količine biorazgradljivih odpadkov, ki se odlagajo na odlagali�čih, najpozneje v dveh letih od datuma [določenega za prenos te direktive], in o tej strategiji uradno obvestijo Komisijo“ in v členu 5(2) določa roke za to zmanj�anje količine odpadkov.
Article 10 of Directive 1999/31 lays down rules concerning the costs of the landfill of waste.
S členom 10 Direktive 1999/31 so določena pravila glede stro�kov odlaganja odpadkov.
Article 11 and Annex II set out rules on waste acceptance procedures at landfills, Article 12 and Annex III lay down those on control and monitoring procedures in respect of operations carried out at landfills and Article 13 relates to closure and after-care procedures.
S členom 11 in prilogo II k tej direktivi so določena pravila o postopkih za prevzem odpadkov na odlagali�čih, s členom 12 in prilogo III k tej direktivi so določena pravila glede postopkov nadzora in spremljanja med obratovanjem, člen 13 te direktive pa se nana�a na postopke zapiranja in upravljanja po zaprtju.
Articles 7 to 9 of Directive 1999/31 lay down the permit procedure for new landfills.
Direktiva 1999/31 v členih od 7 do 9 določa postopek za izdajo dovoljenja za nova odlagali�ča.
The directive also makes existing landfill sites subject to special measures.
Za obstoječa odlagali�ča pa določa tudi posebne ukrepe.
In that respect, Article 14 of the directive provides:
Člen 14 te direktive v zvezi s tem določa:
‘Member States shall take measures in order that landfills which have been granted a permit, or which are already in operation at the time of transposition of this Dir -ective, may not continue to operate unless the steps outlined below are accomplished as soon as possible and within eight years after the date laid down in Article 18(1) at the latest:
„Države članice sprejmejo ukrepe za zagotovitev, da odlagali�ča, ki ob prenosu te direktive že imajo dovoljenja ali že delujejo, ne smejo več obratovati, razen če se čim prej in najpozneje v osmih letih po datumu, določenem v členu 18(1), izvedejo naslednji koraki:

(ii) v treh letih po datumu, določenem v členu 18(1), se člen 6 uporablja za odlagali�ča za nevarne odpadke.“
Article 18 of Directive 1999/31 sets the period for transposition of the directive as follows:
S členom 18 Direktive 1999/31 je določen rok za njen prenos:
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than two years after its entry into force.
Države članice sprejmejo zakone in druge predpise, potrebne za uskladitev s to direktivo, najpozneje v dveh letih po začetku veljavnosti.
The directive came into force on 16 July 1999.
Ta direktiva začne veljati 16. julija 1999.
The period for transposition laid down in Article 18 thereof expired on 16 July 2001.
Rok za prenos, določen v njenem členu 18, se je iztekel 16. julija 2001.
On 19 December 2002, the Council of the European Union adopted Decision 2003/33/EC establishing criteria and procedures for the acceptance of waste at landfills pursuant to Article 16 of and Annex II to Directive 1999/31 (OJ 2003 L 11, p. 27).
Svet Evropske unije je 19. decembra 2002 na podlagi člena 16 in priloge II k Direktivi 1999/31 (UL 2003, L 11, str. 27) sprejel Odločbo 2003/33/ES o določitvi meril in postopkov za sprejemanje odpadkov na odlagali�čih.
Legislative Decree No 36/2003 transposes all of the provisions of Directive 1999/31 into national law.
Z zakonsko uredbo �t.36/2003 se v italijansko pravo prena�ajo vse določbe Direk -tive 1999/31.
Article 5 provides that the regions must draw up and approve a programme of reduction of biodegradable waste present in landfills within a period of one year from entry into force of the legislative decree.
Ta med drugim v členu 5 določa, da morajo dežele v enem letu od njenega začetka veljavnosti izdelati in potrditi načrt za zmanj�evanje količine biorazgradljivih odpadkov na odlagali�čih.
The legislative decree also sets the timelimits which must be complied with in order gradually to reduce such waste in landfills.
Določa tudi stroge roke, ki jih je treba upo�tevati glede postopnega zmanj�evanja količin teh odpadkov na odlagali�čih.
Article 6 of the legislative decree implements the provision of Directive 1999/31 concerning waste not accepted at landfills, while Article 11 lays down the rules of procedure relating to the acceptance of waste at landfills.
S členom 6 zakonske uredbe �t. 36/2003 se prenesejo določbe Direktive 1999/31 o odpadkih, ki so na odlagali�čih nesprejemljivi, medtem ko so z njenim členom 11 določena pravila postopka za prevzem odpadkov na teh odlagali�čih.
Article 17 of the legislative decree, headed ‘Transitional and final provisions’, which lays down the rules concerning the treatment of existing landfill sites, provides:
S členom 17 te zakonske uredbe, naslovljenim „Prehodne in končne določbe“, ki določa pravila o ravnanju z obstoječimi odlagali�či, je določeno:
Landfills for which a permit has already been granted on the date of entry into force of this decree may continue to accept, until 31 December 2006, the waste for which they have been authorised.
Odlagali�ča, ki na dan začetka veljavnosti te zakonske uredbe že imajo dovoljenje, lahko do 31. decembra 2006 nadaljujejo prevzemanje odpadkov, za katera so bila ta odobrena.
In compliance with the conditions and limits of acceptability provided for by the decision of the interdepartmental committee of 27 July 1984, published in the Ordinary Supplement to [GURI] No 253 of 13 September 1984 … disposal in new landfills is authorised until 31 December 2006 so far as concerns:
Ob upo�tevanju pogojev in omejitev sprejemljivosti, določenih z odločbo medministrskega odbora z dne 27. julija 1984, ki je bila objavljena v rednem dodatku [h GURI] �t. 253 z dne 13. septembra 1984, […] je izločanje na novih odlagali�čih dovoljeno do 31. decembra 2006:
(a) in landfills for inert waste, the waste previously sent to class two, type A landfills;
(a) na odlagali�čih za inertne odpadke, glede odpadkov ki so bili predhodno poslani na odlagali�ča drugega razreda, vrste A;
(b) in landfills for non-hazardous waste, the waste previously sent to class one and class two, type B landfills;
(b) na odlagali�čih za nenevarne odpadke, glede odpadkov ki so bili predhodno poslani na odlagali�ča prvega in drugega razreda, vrste B;
(c) in landfills for hazardous waste, the waste previously sent to class two, type C and class three landfills.
(c) na odlagali�čih za nevarne odpadke, glede odpadkov ki so bili predhodno poslani na odlagali�ča drugega razreda, vrste C, in tretjega razreda.
Within a period of six months from the date of entry into force of this decree, the holder of the permit referred to in paragraph 1 or the operator of the landfill instructed by him shall present to the competent authority a site-conditioning plan on the basis of the criteria referred to in this decree, including the financial guarantees referred to in Article 14.
V �estih mesecih od začetka veljavnosti te zakonske uredbe mora imetnik dovoljenja iz odstavka 1 ali upravljavec odlagali�ča, ki ga je ta pooblastil, pristojnim organom predložiti načrt prilagoditve odlagali�ča, na podlagi meril, navedenih v tej zakonski uredbi, vključno s finančnimi garancijami, navedenimi v členu 14.
By a reasoned measure, the competent authority shall approve the plan referred to in paragraph 3, authorise the continuation of the activity of the landfill and lay down the works for compliance, the method of execution and the final time-limit for completion of the works, which may not under any circumstances be later than 16 July 2009. …
Pristojni organ z obrazloženim aktom odobri načrt iz odstavka 3, dovoli nadaljevanje z dejavnostjo odlaganja in določi ukrepe za uskladitev, podrobna pravila za izvajanje in končni rok za njihovo izpolnitev, pri čemer ta rok nikakor ne sme biti poznej�i od 16. julija 2009. […]
Should the plan referred to in paragraph 3 be rejected, the competent authority shall state the detailed rules and timelimits for closure of the landfill, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c).
Če se načrt iz odstavka 3 zavrne, pristojni organ v skladu s členom 12(1)(c) določi podrobna pravila in rok za zaprtje odlagali�ča.
The decision of the interdepartmental committee of 27 July 1984, referred to in Article 17(2) of Legislative Decree No 36/2003, provides for the classification of landfills into three classes.
Odločba medministrskega odbora z dne 27. julija 1984, na katero napotuje člen 17(2) zakonske uredbe �t. 36/2003, določa razporeditev odlagali�č v tri razrede. Odlagali�ča drugega razreda, vrste C, in odlagali�ča tretjega razreda, na katera se nana�a navedeni člen 17(2)(c), so odlagali�ča, namenjena prevzemu strupenih in nevarnih odpadkov (točki 4.2.3.3 in 4.2.4 navedene odločbe).
After receiving a complaint referring to incorrect implementation of Direct- ive 1999/31 by Legislative Decree No 36/2003, on 17 October 2003 the Commission sent the Italian Republic a letter of formal notice in which it claimed that the legislative decree did not comply with Articles 2, 5, 6, 10, 13 and 14 of the direct- ive.
Komisija je 17. oktobra 2003 zaradi prijave o nepravilnem prenosu Direktive 1999/31 z zakonsko uredbo �t. 36/2003, Italijanski republiki poslala pisni opomin, v katerem je navedla, da ta zakonska uredba ni v skladu s členi 2, 5, 6, 10, 13 in 14 te direktive.
In the introduction to that letter the Commission stated that the observations contained in it ‘[were without prejudice to] the fact that further questions might be brought to the attention of the Italian authorities’.
Komisija je v uvodnem delu tega dopisa poudarila, da stali�ča iz slednje „[niso prejudicirala] dejstva, da bi naknadna vpra�anja morebiti [lahko] bila predložena italijanskim organom“.
The Italian Republic replied to that letter by two separate notes, dated 12 December 2003 and 28 January 2004 respectively.
Italijanska republika je na ta dopis odgovorila z ločenima dopisoma 12. decembra 2003 in 28. januarja 2004.
On 9 July 2004, the Commission sent the Italian Republic a supplementary letter of formal notice in which it expressed doubts as to whether not only the articles of Directive 1999/31 referred to in the original letter of formal notice, but also Art -icles 3, 4, 7 to 9, 11 and 12 of that directive, had been correctly transposed. Moreover,
Komisija je 9. julija 2004 tej državi članici poslala dodatni pisni opomin, v katerem je izrazila dvom o pravilnosti prenosa ne le členov Direktive 1999/31, navedenih v prvotnem pisnem opominu, ampak tudi členov 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11 in 12 iste direktive.
2008 — CASE C-442/06 it called on the Italian Republic to supply information on the exact number of landfills to which the provisions of that directive relating to new landfills were not applicable and to submit its observations within a period of two months from the receipt of the supplementary letter of formal notice.
2008 – ZADEVA C-442/06 li�čih, in naj predloži stali�ča v roku dveh mesecev od dneva vročitve tega dodatnega pisnega opomina.
Since the Commission was not satisfied with the explanations given by the Italian Republic, it sent it a reasoned opinion on 19 December 2005.
Ker Komisija ni bila zadovoljna s pojasnili, ki jih je predložila Italijanska republika, je slednji 19. decembra 2005 poslala obrazloženo mnenje.
In the latter, it withdrew some of the complaints set out in the original letter of formal notice and confirmed those alleging that the national provisions concerning existing landfill sites did not comply with Directive 1999/31.
V njem je povzela nekatere očitke, navedene v prvotnem pisnem opominu, in potrdila očitke glede neskladnosti nacionalnih določb o obstoječih odlagali�čih z Direktivo 1999/31.
It also called on the Italian Republic to adopt the necessary provisions to comply with the reasoned opinion within a period of two months from its receipt.
Poleg tega je Italijansko republiko pozvala, naj sprejme potrebne ukrepe, da se uskladi s tem mnenjem v dveh mesecih od njegovega prejema.
Since it was not persuaded by the arguments put forward by the Italian Republic in its note of 28 February 2006 in response to the reasoned opinion, the Commission brought the present action.
Ker Komisije trditve, ki jih je Italijanska republika navedla v odgovoru na obrazloženo mnenje v dopisu z dne 28. februarja 2006, niso prepričale, je vložila to tožbo.
The plea of inadmissibility, alleging irregularity of the pre-litigation procedure
Ugovor nedopustnosti, ki izhaja iz domnevne nepravilnosti predhodnega postopka
The Italian Republic pleads a defect in the pre-litigation procedure rendering the Commission’s action inadmissible.
Italijanska republika navaja napako, ki vpliva na predhodni postopek in zaradi katere naj bi bila tožba Komisije nedopustna.
It observes that that institution changed the complaints relied on.
Poudarja, da je ta insitucija spremenila navedene očitke.
Whereas in the original letter of formal notice, so far as concerns the treatment of existing landfill sites, the Commission had referred
Namreč, medtem ko Komisija v prvotnem pisnem opominu v zvezi z ravnanjem z obstoječimi odlagali�či navaja neskladnost zakonske uredbe �t. 36/2003
COMMISSION v ITALY to non-compliance of Legislative Decree No 36/2003 with Article 14 of Direct- ive 1999/31, in the supplementary letter of formal notice it relied on infringement of Articles 2 to 14 of that directive.
KOMISIJA PROTI ITALIJI s členom 14 Direktive 1999/31, v dodatnem pisnem opominu navaja kr�itev členov od 2 do 14 iste direktive.
The Italian Republic also submits that in the original letter of formal notice the Commission had already inserted a reference to the effect that ‘new doubts’ could arise subsequently as to the compatibility of the national legislation transposing Directive 1999/31 with that directive.
Ta država članica poleg tega poudarja, da je Komisija že v prvotni pisni opomin vključila navedbo, da bi se naknadno lahko pojavil „nov dvom“ o skladnosti nacionalne zakonodaje, ki prena�a Direktivo 1999/31, s to isto direktivo.
The insertion of such a reference makes it possible for the Commission to change the complaints relied on against a Member State, in accordance with its needs and without being required to open a new infringement procedure.
Vključitev te navedbe naj bi Komisiji omogočila spremembo očitkov, ki jih navaja zoper državo članico, glede na svoje zahteve in ne da bi bila zavezana začeti nov postopek o neizpolnitvi obveznosti.
Moreover, the addition of new complaints in the supplementary letter of formal notice constitutes an infringement of the duty of sincere cooperation referred to in Article 10 EC.
Poleg tega naj bi raz�iritev dodatnega pisnega opomina na nove očitke pomenila kr�itev dolžnosti lojalnega sodelovanja iz člena 10 ES.
The Commission disputes the existence of such an infringement, given that the supplementary letter of formal notice sent to the Italian Republic was intended to add new complaints or to amend those which had already been put forward.
Komisija izpodbija obstoj take kr�itve glede na to, da je bil namen dodatnega pisnega opomina, ki ga je poslala Italijanski republiki, dodati nove očitke oziroma spremeniti že navedene.
In order to state more specifically what has been set out in a letter of formal notice and to complete the analysis of the response of the national authorities, the Commission sends the Member State concerned a reasoned opinion.
Komisija naj bi zadevni državi članici poslala obrazloženo mnenje, da bi natančno opredelila to, kar je bilo navedeno v pisnem opominu, in da bi dopolnila preučitev odgovora nacionalnih organov.
On the other hand, in accordance with Article 226 EC, in order to extend the complaints relied on the Commission sends that State a supplementary letter of formal notice on which it has the opportunity to submit it arguments.
Ravno nasprotno, Komisija naj bi glede raz�iritve navedenih očitkov v skladu s členom 226 ES državi članici poslala dodatni pisni opomin, glede katerega naj bi država članica imela možnost predložiti svoja stali�ča.
In that regard, it must be recalled that it is settled caselaw that the proper conduct of the pre-litigation procedure constitutes an essential guarantee required by the EC Treaty not only in order to protect the rights of the Member State concerned, but also so as to ensure that any contentious procedure will have a clearly defined dispute as its subjectmatter.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da v skladu z ustaljeno sodno prakso Sodi�ča pravilnost predhodnega postopka pomeni bistveno jamstvo, ki ga Pogodba ES želi zagotavljati ne le za varstvo pravic zadevnih držav članic, temveč tudi za to, da bo v morebitnem sodnem postopku predmet spora jasno opredeljen.
The Commission sent the Italian Republic a supplementary letter of formal notice, laying down a new time-limit for that Member State to submit its observations, before sending it a reasoned opinion based on the same complaints as those in the supplementary letter of formal notice.
Komisija je Italijanski republiki poslala dodatni pisni opomin, pri čemer je državi članici določila nov rok za predložitev svojih pripomb, preden ji je poslala obrazloženo mnenje, ki temelji na istih očitkih, kot so bili v tem dodatnem pisnem opominu.
