36By the second plea, the Italian Republic submits that the action registered as Case C-297/08 concerned, in essence, a failure to fulfil obligations in connection with the waste disposal network. In paragraphs 86, 87 and 90 of its application initiating proceedings for failure to fulfil obligations, the Commission criticised the situation regarding the final disposal of waste which cannot be otherwise recovered or recycled, on the ground that there was a shortage of the structures (incinerators, landfills) which were needed in order to implement that stage of the waste ‘procedure’ in accordance with Directive 2006/12. By contrast, other stages of that ‘procedure’ and other waste management procedures which are separate from the final disposal of waste, such as the various procedures for recovering waste following sorting by means of differentiated collection, and for organising that collection, were clearly unrelated to the specific matter concerned by the infringement procedure in accordance with paragraphs 48 and 49 of that application. In view of the adoption on 28 December 2007 of a new waste management plan for the Campania region, the Commission did not consider it necessary to maintain the objections raised in that regard. However, Measure 1.7 and the operations, in the form of projects, included therein were specifically linked to the waste recovery stage and the preceding differentiated waste collection stage. In particular, the Italian authorities state that the letter of 22 December 2008 erred in making reference to the reasoned opinion of 1 February 2008 and in alleging that the Italian Republic had acted in breach of Directive 2006/12 ‘by not having established an adequate integrated network of waste disposal facilities and by not having created an adequate and effective waste management plan designed to attain the objectives listed in Articles 4 and 5 of [that] directive’, given that the Commission had itself withdrawn the complaint relating to the lack of a general waste management plan and had confined itself to criticising the inadequate supply of final waste disposal facilities.
