On 8 August 2001 DEFRA published its second consultation paper on EC Directive 1999/31/EC on the Landfill of Waste. The consultation paper focuses on how government intends to implement the Landfill Directive, and contains a set of draft regulations (the "Landfill [England and Wales] Regulations 2001). Discusses the content of the consultation paper, and some of the key issues it raises. Notes that government is particularly keen to receive industry opinion on the proposed bans on the landfilling of certain substances, national waste acceptance criteria and procedures, and the management of hazardous waste sites. Responses must reach DEFRA by 26 October 2001.
