26Under Article 2(1)(b)(iv) of Directive 75/442 this is the case with ‘waste waters, with the exception of waste in liquid form’. It is clear from that provision that the Community legislature intended expressly to classify waste waters as waste within the meaning of the directive, while providing that that waste may, in certain circumstances, fall outside the scope of the directive and, therefore, the general legal regime for waste which it establishes.
