European legislation plays an increasing role in determining policies and establishing objectives. Luxembourg must also comply with other international commitments relating to transboundary waste movements and to the ecological management of waste and resource productivity. It is prepared by the Environment Administration in consultation with the parties concerned (government departments, communes, inter-communal syndicates, professional associations and NGOs) and includes sector-specific plans for the broad waste categories (Box 3.1). A revised version of the initial plan (adopted by the Cabinet in 2000) is now under preparation (Ministry of the Environment, 2009).
