Failure of a Member State to fulfil obligations – Directive 75/442/EEC - Waste - European Court of Justice Judgement - CASELEX:EU:2009:133

16 December 2009, 16:16 CET
— filed under: ,

Waste waters fell outside the scope of the Waste Directive 75/442/EEC only if, and to the extent that, they were governed by ‘other legislation’ at the Community or local level. Since no other Community legislation regulated domestic waste waters disposed of in the countryside through septic tanks and other individual water-waste treatment systems, the Republic of Ireland was obliged to adopt the necessary provisions, as regards such waste waters. By failing to do so, Ireland had failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 4 and 8 of the Waste Directive.

Legal issue

Did Ireland fail to fulfil its obligations under Articles 4 and 8 of the Waste Directive by not adopting the necessary provisions as regards domestic waste waters disposed of in the countryside through septic tanks and other IWWTS?
