§ 36. Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what are the implications for the United Kingdom of the recent changes made in the EU draft directive on landfill of waste by the European Parliament in report A-4 0082/95. [28066]
§ Mr. AtkinsThere are no implications for the United Kingdom of the report to the European Parliament by the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection. This recommended acceptance of the Council's proposal to amend the legal basis of the draft landfill directive from article 100A of the treaty of Rome to article 130S. The United Kingdom supported this change in Council. The European Parliament has now agreed to the change of legal base.
