The Constitution allows Parliament to delegate legislative authority on environmental matters to the Government. Such delegation was affected by Law 3/2012, which sets out broad directives for the Government to legislate for the protection of the environment. This law prompted the enactment of Decree-Law 26/2012, the Basic Law on the Environment, which contains a section on solid waste management.
