Call for debate regarding the new Waste Framework Directive

Dear Antonis

As you will know , the revised Directive is likely to be adopted by the EU Council of environmental Ministers on 20/21 October. Following its publication in the Official journal, Member States will have two years to transpose the revised Directive into national law. The Greek government I hope will be carrying out extensive public consultation during that two year period in order to decide how best to implement it.

In addition , if you wish , we could have a debate through your excellent blog , on how the WFD would be implemented.

I hope this is helpful,

Yours sincerely

Andrew Kouskouris
