Dedicated Body Needed to Enforce European Waste Law
15 February 2010
A European Commission study published in February 2010 recommended setting up a dedicated European body to oversee the implementation and enforcement of European Union (EU) waste law. The study reports that illegal dumping of waste continues on a significant scale, many landfill sites are sub standard and, in some Member States, basic waste infrastructure is still missing. A second report revealed that almost one fifth of waste shipments inspected as part of recent enforcement actions in Member States were illegal.The full press release is available here:
