The return of the plan for the energy exploitation of waste, which has been consulted by the Ministry of the Environment and Energy (RIS), accompanied by observations and questions, was unanimously decided by the Regional Council (PESY) at the Attica at the one -way session, on the subject of the Opinion of the Strategic Study.

“What has been filed has nothing to do with reality,” the regional governor underlined Nikos Chardaliasunderlining. “A SMEA has been filed that offers a realistic solution, it is deadlocked, unclear, with deficiencies and conflicting assumptions and as such is returned with the observations of the Region.”

However, in addition to being rejected, essentially the existing plan for the creation of a network of energy raw materials (GDP) from urban solid waste (ASA), on the occasion of the discussion, the Regional Governor made the proposal of the Regional Authority and the Regional Authority. Minimization, with energy utilization of the balance.

Both the representatives of the bodies and the leaders of the factions have expressed strong objection to the content of the plan, focusing on the feasibility of creating six combustion units across the country and the necessity of continuous supply with tons of rubbish, also involved.

The Attica Regional Governor Nikos Chardalias He described the issue of burning as a “disorienting alibi”, stressing that “the quintessence of rubbish management issues is recycling”

Addressing the delegates after the decision of the return of the SBE, he said, he called on them to agree unanimously in the following architecture of what should be done. A plan he has studied, as he said, recalling the election announcements that “in the first three years I would have launched the issue of waste solution in Attica”.

Mr. Chardalias called for the cooperation of everyone to implement the new architecture with the basic principle of the equal participation of all local authorities in the logic of each municipality to export its recyclable material. As an application, he mentioned the successful practice of only two municipalities (in 2004 when the issue of blue bins was raised), Elefsina under the municipality of George Abatzoglou and Byron to the municipality of himself, where “with the City Council we said no to the blue bins because there were no recycling” then “

Developing the planning by the Attica Regional Governor, he observed that “successful recycling imposes three levels of recovery and reuse:

  • -1th at Municipalities. Municipalities should be funded to create a recycling and environmental awareness center. Each municipality will manage the green spots and angles while the tutorials and uses will be resolved by municipal council decisions and legal settlement
  • -2th at the Regional Unit level for the process of recovering and sorting materials. There the blue buckets will go, with the responsibility of self -government will be the first sorting. At the same time it will have built -in processing for bio -waste and pruning
  • -3th which can be integrated into an energy utilization unit where the final processing of the green bins (comparison) will be processed and whatever is left over from the blue bucket (ie from the CDAs from the MEBA)

Mr Chardalias stressed that this is an integrated “immediate fair solutions” program that will be implemented under the responsibility of self -government and state funding so that “soon we will reach its goal of recycling at 60% -70%”.

For the residue that exists in all civilized states and is managed by energy utilization through the conciliation (self -governing, trade unionists and private), Mr Chardalias observed that it is another debate in which “we must end up as we finalize our architecture of how to achieve the principles of

However, the Regional Governor has made a proposal for the creation of an energy utilization unit that would not burden municipalities or citizens by disproportionate fees. It will not be a pharaonia but “20 acres of coverage that will exploit geothermal”.

In summary, he urged everyone to proceed with the implementation of the design immediately, without delays, studies, extensions, updates, additional contracts and revisions. All costly and time -consuming as it has been a mismanagement for many years, he added, which will not be shared by any municipality or citizen. “Anyone who gave up or executing these orders from below will be called upon to pay in every way because this is our responsibility, against a world that is struggling daily to survive and say from this regional council a big not of all that has happened for many years now with many years.”

Earlier, during the placements, the leaders of the factions were placed all over the burning, while reflection was also developed on the transport costs that “certainly would not be undertaken by individuals and which due to the diversity of Greece would be particularly high eg Mytilene in Athens or in Athens. “Costs that will be shared to the citizens” as noted by George Ioakimidis (Attic Circle).

Yiannis Protoulis (People’s Coalition) said that factories would burn tones of mixed “consequences for public health” which have recorded epidemiological research in areas with such units. “Units that require constant feed. B.C. In Sweden, the 32 combustion plants absorb all waste from N. Italy, Norway, England and Ireland while in our country recycling is only 6.2%. “

Yiannis Sgouros (Attica Independent Self-Government) expressed his vertical opposition to the policy of combustion, noting that during the construction of the units (6-8) years, the impasse will continue to be the existing system for dealing with the government’s “doubt” as he has been in doubt.

On his side the Philip Kambouris (Battle for Attica) called for rejection of the government’s government planning and also accused the Pat of ignoring the view of the Municipalities on the plan, meeting on 8/10 while the extension expired on 17/10.

Mr Chardalias clarified that the deadline concerned “if we did not meet today we had no more than one day to recommend it as PSY. He described the meeting and the discussion as important as Mr Chardalias evolved, praised the work and personality of the Secretary General of Waste Management Coordination Manol “Who has administrative experience, reflexes and knows what it means to fight in a municipality,” expressing the belief that “we will do the best. We will look at the 4 million citizens and tell them: We are here to give a clear solution of responsibility. To solve the issue of waste in the basin because any efforts have been lost on the paths of opacity and corruption. We will change this here we will rebuild it in terms of dignity for constitution to be truly useful in our societies, our neighborhoods and our fellow citizens. “
