Italy: Lazio waste crisis still unresolved, says Potocnik

摘要

The European Commission is closely monitoring the waste situation in Lazio, close to Rome, but there are no signs that a solution will be found any time soon, according to the European Environment Commissioner Janez Potocnik. In answer to a written question by Italian Christian Democrat MEP Alfredo Antoniozzi, Potocnik said that despite statements to the contrary by the Italian authorities, "it appears that no new landfill project is Piana Dell'Olmo or anywhere in Lazio has been granted final development consent."
