24Under Article 14 of Directive 2008/98, and in accordance with the polluter-pays principle, the costs of waste management are to be borne by the original waste producer or by the current or previous waste holders. The waste holders are subject to this financial obligation due to their contribution to the production of that waste (see, by analogy, judgments of 24 June 2008, Commune de Mesquer, C‑188/07, EU:C:2008:359, paragraph 77, and of 16 July 2009, Futura Immobiliare and Others, C‑254/08, EU:C:2009:479, paragraph 45).
