Facts of the communication Bulgarian Waste management Act prohibits public participation and and access to justice for citizens and NGOs in relation to the unlawful decisions of the Regional associations for waste management. We believe this is a gross violation of the Aarhus Convention. Prohibition Prohibition was introduced in 2010 an amendment to the former Waste management Act (Amended SG No 41 of 1 June 2010) by the following: Article.19b (4) Members of Regional Association can only be municipalities. Article.19b (8) The management bodies of the regional association are the General Meeting and the President of the association. Article.19c (1) The General Meeting of the regional association is composed of the mayors of participating municipalities. Article.19d (6) Decisions of the General Meeting could only be appealed by interested municipalities under The Administrative Procedure Code. This Waste management Act was repealed with adoption of the new Waste management Act (Promulgated SG No 53 of 13 July 2012).
