I propose to take Questions Nos. 511 to 513, inclusive, together.

As provided for in the European Communities (Amendment of Waste Management (Licensing) Regulations, 2000) Regulations, 2002, any landfill facility that ceased to accept waste for disposal prior to 16 July 2001 is exempt from the requirement to submit a waste management plan, also referred to as a conditioning plan, to the Environmental Protection Agency, which is the national competent authority for the licensing of waste facilities. The determination of the licensing requirements to be applied to the site referred to will be a matter for the Agency.
