All landfills are now required to be licensed by the Environmental Protection Agency, and the types of waste which may be deposited in a landfill are determined by that licence. I am satisfied that in discharging its responsibilities, the agency operates to best international practice, including the need to comply with the requirements of the EU landfill directive.
