28In the present case, it is apparent from the documents submitted to the Court that the recovery of sewage sludge entails certain risks for the environment and human health, in particular those linked to the presence of hazardous substances. As regards such substances, a Member State may –– in the light of the discretion which it enjoys in accordance with the considerations set out in the preceding two paragraphs –– refrain from recognising end-of-waste status of a product or substance or may refrain from laying down standards which would lead to end-of-waste status of that product or substance.
