Joe Llywelyn Griffith Blakesley says
In a similar vein, there is an implicit jurisdictional loophole in the national statutory instruments that implement the EU Waste Directive into UK law which means that _landfill_ waste that crosses national borders is not added to anyone's quotas.
The practical upshot of this is that English local authorities (esp. Liverpool) export their _landfill_ waste to Wales (and, to some extent, vice versa) in order to hit their targets for recycling vs. landfill and thereby not be subject to the statutory fines.
An example of such dumping in North Wales is the unlawful activity of Merseyside Waste Holdings (a wholly owned corporation of local authorities in Liverpool and the Mersey) which has been supported by the current Welsh Assembly Government (and about whose actions Rhodri Morgan has repeatedly lied and contradicted himself in my presence ) in their destruction of great-crested newt habitats on a European Special Area of Conservation at Hafod Quarry, Johnstown, Wrexham, in violation of international criminal law (and in such a way that they are unable to comply with the terms of their existing planning permission) and aided and abetted by constablPublish Postes of North Wales Police.
Unfortunately, the pre-May opposition parties reneged on a promise (made in response to a lot of lobbying) to boycott the penultimate WAG budget unless WAG removed the licenses for Hafod and similar projects.
