C 159/19
(Case C-145/14)
2014/C 159/25
Language of the case: Bulgarian
Parties
Applicant: European Commission (represented by: S. Petrova and E. Sanfrutos Cano, acting as Agents)
Defendant: Republic of Bulgaria
Form of order sought
The European Commission claims that the Court should:
—declare that by failing to take the measures necessary to ensure that the existing landfill sites in the country could not continue to operate after 16 July 2009 unless they complied with the requirements of Council Directive 1999/31/EC of 26 April 1999 on the landfill of waste, the Republic of Bulgaria has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 14 of that directive;
—order the Republic of Bulgaria to pay the costs.
Pleas in law and main arguments
In the answers to the reasoned opinion (the last answers date from 16 July 2013 and from 10 February 2014) the Bulgarian national authorities admitted that there are to date 100 landfill sites in operation in the Republic of Bulgaria which have not been adapted to the requirements of Article 14 of Directive 1999/31/EC.
The Commission therefore deems it necessary to bring an action before the Court of Justice of the European Union so that the Court declares that the Republic of Bulgaria has infringed that provision.
