Romania’s Minister of the Environment, Mircea Fechet recently stated that Romania risks sanctions amounting to tens of millions of euros due to non-ecological landfills.
Fechet explained that after being convicted in 2018 by the European Court of Justice for not ecologizing industrial landfills, hazardous waste, or municipal waste dumps, Romania has been reported again for still having 33 non-ecologized such sites.
In most cases, the companies that own the dumps do not have the financial means to carry out the necessary steps, reports Romania Insider.
