Consultation on Revised Waste Framework Directive
DEFRA, in association with the Devolved Administrations, is seeking views on a proposal by the European Commission to revise the Waste Framework Directive (WFD) (2006/12/EC) and related EU legislation. The proposed legislation comprises:
1. A revision of the Waste Framework Directive (WFD);
2. The repeal of the Waste Oils Directive (75/439/EEC); and
3. The repeal and integration of the Hazardous Waste Directive (91/689/EEC) into the revised WFD.
The purpose of the consultation paper is to invite stakeholders’ views on the revision of the WFD to ensure that the UK’s involvement in the negotiations on the legislation is well informed and has an evidence base which is as sound as possible. The consultation paper also includes a Partial Regulatory Impact Assessment, on which views are also invited. Responses should be submitted by 5 January 2007. Further information is available from:
