"Question No 43 by Mihail Papayannakis (): Environmental organisations in Greece have alleged that toxic and hazardous waste is being buried without any controls. Of the 264 571 tonnes of hazardous waste produced in 1999, a mere 0.12% was shipped abroad for incineration. There are no controls on the disposal of waste produced by the lead-acid accumulator recycling plants. Greek Electricity Board (DEI) condensers with substantial amounts of Clophen have been abandoned at Aspropyrgos. In Attica there is only one incinerator with a capacity of 0.5 tonnes of hospital waste a day, even though some 20 tonnes of such waste is produced a day. As regards PCBs, Greece has no processing facilities and it is unknown what happens to them. Over the last ten years no substantial steps have been taken to ensure the proper management of this waste. Article 16 of Directive 78/319/EECstates: 'Every three years, and for the first time three years following the notification of this Directive, Member States shall draw up a situation report on the disposal of toxic and dangerous waste in their respective countries and shall forward it to the Commission'. Will the Commission say how many such reports has Greece forwarded so far on the basis of the above directive, and what do these reports say? What stage have the relevant Greek authorities reached in implementing Directives 75/442/EEC, 78/319/EEC, 94/67/EEC, 91/157/EECand 94/62/EEC? Does it intend to impose fines in the event of violations?"@en1
