     1.   With  a  view  to  meeting  the  requirements  of  Directive
75/442/EEC,  and  in  particular  Articles 3 and 4 thereof, the aim of
this  Directive  is,  by  way  of  stringent operational and technical
requirements  on  the  waste  and  landfills, to provide for measures,
procedures  and  guidance  to  prevent  or  reduce  as far as possible
negative  effects  on  the environment, in particular the pollution of
surface   water,   groundwater,  soil  and  air,  and  on  the  global
environment, including the greenhouse effect, as well as any resulting
risk  to  human  health,  from  landfilling of waste, during the whole
life-cycle of the landfill.
     2. In respect of the technical characteristics of landfills, this
Directive contains, for those landfills to which Directive 96/61/EC is
applicable,  the relevant technical requirements in order to elaborate
in  concrete  terms  the  general  requirements of that Directive. The
relevant  requirements  of  Directive  96/61/EC  shall be deemed to be
fulfilled if the requirements of this Directive are complied with.
