Operative part of the judgment
Articles 10 and 14 of Council Directive 1999/31/EC of 26 April 1999 on the landfill of waste must be interpreted as not precluding the interpretation of a provision of national law to the effect that a landfill site in operation at the date of transposition of that directive must be subject to the obligations arising under that directive, in particular the obligation to extend the after-care period following the closure of the landfill, without it being necessary to make a distinction according to the date of storage of the waste or to provide for measures to limit the financial impact of that extension in respect of the holder of the waste.
