Re:
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Korkein hallinto-oikeus — Interpretation of Article 3 of Directive 2000/76/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 December 2000 on the incineration of waste (OJ 2000 L 332, p. 91) — Complex consisting of a plant producing gas from waste and a power plant whose steam boiler burns the gas produced from the thermal treatment of waste in the gas plant — Combustion in the steam boiler of the power plant of non-purified instead of purified gas
Operative part of the judgment
A power plant which uses as an additional fuel, in substitution for fossil fuels used for the most part in its production activities, gas obtained in a gas plant following thermal treatment of waste is to be regarded, jointly with that gas plant, as a ‘co-incineration plant’ within the meaning of Article 3(5) of Directive 2000/76/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 December 2000 on the incineration of waste when the gas in question has not been purified within the gas plant.
