Response from the competent authority: 'Reply from the Ministry of Agriculture and
  Environment: the current environmental legislation on waste already allows for "the
  treatment, recovery and temporary collection of waste at any site, at any installation,
  provided that the operation is technically assured to be without impact on the surrounding
  environment", which is also the content of the proposal below. However, the impact
  of such activities on the environment and human health is verified in the administrative
  procedures for obtaining an environmental permit for the treatment or disposal of
  waste or for registration in the relevant register (collectors, transporters, traders,
  brokers). The basis for these procedures is EU legislation. In fact, the Waste Directive
  2008/98/EC provides that any establishment or undertaking intending to carry out
  waste treatment must obtain a permit from the competent authority. These permits
  specify at least the following: (a) the types and quantities of waste that may be
  treated; (b) the technical and any other site-specific requirements for each permitted
  operation; (c) the safety and precautionary measures to be taken; (d) the method
  to be used for each operation; (e) such monitoring and control procedures as may
  be necessary; and (f) such closure and post-closure care provisions as may be necessary.
  Where the following are not subject to permit requirements, Member States shall
  ensure that the competent authority maintains a register of:(a) establishments or
  undertakings professionally collecting or transporting waste; and (b) dealers or
  brokers. Under these provisions, a treatment operator may treat waste if he holds
  an environmental permit for the recovery or disposal of waste in accordance with
  the law governing environmental protection. A waste collector may collect waste
  if he holds a certificate of registration in the register of waste collectors. A
  waste transporter may transport waste if he is entered in the register of waste
  transporters. A trader may buy and sell non-hazardous waste if he is entered in
  the register of waste traders. An intermediary may arrange for the treatment of
  waste on behalf of third parties if he is entered in the register of intermediaries.
  All the aforementioned records shall be kept by the Ministry responsible for the
  environment within the register of persons certified to carry out environmental
  protection activities, in accordance with the law governing environmental protection.'
