stocks in the area concerned should be prohibited.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1269/01

by Chris Davies (ELDR) to the Commission

(26 April 2001)

Subject: Biological treatment of biodegradable waste

Has the Commission yet had the opportunity to assess the findings of L.M.Chu and A.D. Bradshaw
1.
regarding the value of pulverised refuse fines as a substitute in land reclamation (Journal of Applied
Ecology 1996, 33, pp. 851-865)?

2. What conclusions has the Commission drawn from this work with regard to the value of such
material in the restoration of old and dismissed quarries and mines and similar derelict sites not intended
for food or fodder crop production, and which can be expected to require applications well in excess of
200 tonnes per hectare?

Answer given by Mrs Wallstr(cid:246)m on behalf of the Commission

(7 June 2001)

The general legislative framework for waste management at Community level is in Directive 75/442/EEC
of 15 July 1975 on waste (1) as amended by Council Directive 91/156/EEC of 18 March 1991 (2).

Article 4 of that Directive states that:

Member States shall
endangering human health and without harming the environment, and in particular:

take the necessary measures to ensure that waste is disposed of without

(cid:129) without risk to water, air, soil and plants and animals,

(cid:129) without causing a nuisance through noise or odours,

(cid:129) without adversely affecting the countryside or places of special interest.

The scientific publication mentioned by the Honourable Member does not address at all the problem of
long term effects of pulverised refuse fines (PRF) on the environment, in particular groundwater pollution.
There are no data in the publication about heavy metal or organic compound concentrations in PRF and
what their fate would be in the long term once PRF is spread on derelict land.
