Gestione dubbia dei rifiuti: Cipro sta facendo abbastanza per combattere le discariche abusive?
La Repubblica di Cipro ha un problema serio con la gestione dei rifiuti. L'isola ricicla molto meno di quanto richiesto dalla legislazione dell'Unione europea e manda molti più rifiuti in discarica. Ci sono anche numerose discariche abusive.

00:00I feel anger and disappointment. It's disgusting. This is not how Cyprus should be.
00:30The problem is, what are the eventual solutions?
00:45Every year, the European Union produce 2.200 millions of tons of waste, around 5 tons per capita.
00:53The EU promotes its prevention and use.
00:55De no ser posible, prefiere el reciclaje. La última opción y la más perjudicial es la eliminación.
01:02Alrededor del 15% de los residuos de la UE acaba actualmente en vertederos, cuyo uso está estrictamente regulado.
01:10Una directiva de 1999 establece normas para proteger la salud humana y el medio ambiente, es decir, las aguas superficiales, las subterráneas, el suelo y el aire.
01:21De los efectos negativos de la recogida, transporte, almacenamiento, tratamiento y eliminación de residuos.
01:28Solo se permiten actividades de vertidos seguras y controladas. El incumplimiento conlleva multas.
01:34La directiva limita la proporción de residuos municipales que se vierten a menos del 10% para 2035.
01:41Los vertederos ilegales en toda la UE han disminuido de forma constante en los últimos años.
01:47Sin embargo, la Comisión Europea ha llevado a varios estados miembros ante el Tribunal de Justicia de la UE,
01:53donde Chipre ya ha sido condenado por no controlar sus vertidos ilegales.
01:58Aquí en Chipre, activistas medioambientales aseguran que existen decenas, cuando no centenares, de vertederos ilegales como este que ven alrededor mío.
02:13Este es el retrato de un país con demasiadas escombreras y de las personas que las combaten.
02:18Este vertedero ilegal se encuentra a apenas 20 minutos en coche de la capital.
02:30Se extiende sobre residuos domésticos, industriales, electrónicos de construcción, demolición y textiles.
02:37Las ONGs locales llevan años documentando y denunciando estos lugares.
02:48Y sin embargo, hay soluciones factibles, afirma.
03:14La segunda solución es la policía y, por supuesto, enforcer todas las leyes.
03:34Cuando se conoce que hay algo que está pasando, y que ha estado pasando durante mucho tiempo,
03:40las cameras de surveillance necesitan ser operadas.
03:44You also need to give incentives to people to manage their waste.
03:49It's not always, I mean, you're doing this wrong, I'm going to give you a fine.
03:53So there's always need to be any other opportunities for circular economy practices.
04:00Natasha nos lleva a un segundo vertedero ilegal a 30 minutos.
04:06Activistas han ayudado a desarrollar un mapa interactivo donde se rastrean los vertederos en tiempo real.
04:11This map was produced by citizens.
04:15It was a wake-up call for the local authorities to show where the illegal dump sites were.
04:20So the local authorities would go and pick them up, but also to impose fines and make sure
04:26that these illegal dumping sites never occur again.
04:31When I come to these places and I see these things, I feel anger and disappointment.
04:43This is not how our countryside should be.
04:46This is not how Cyprus should be.
04:49It's disgusting.
04:50What the authorities say to us, usually, is that they don't have their resources.
04:57Then you need to find the ways to get the resources.
05:01Having the same excuse year after year after year, it shows lack of political will.
05:06What are the authorities doing?
05:18What are the authorities doing?
05:18A very limited, but concreta, comes from a small district of Nicosia.
05:23The first in implementing the program Paga según tiras.
05:26This program, funded by the UE, allows to modular tarifas of residuos that pay the users
05:33in function of the quantity delivered to the management system,
05:37explains the Chief of Attorney of the district.
05:39In the first time of the system, we had 5.000 homes.
05:46We believe that 40% of the increase in the schools of the city.
05:49We believe that it was not easy.
05:52It was not easy to get rid of our roads, but we went to the new generation.
05:58We went to school and tried to change the big problems.
06:05Other municipalities will continue on the example.
06:07però questo non cubre le enormi necessità del paese.
06:10Il mismo giorno di nostra gravazione, la Commissione Europea volviò a denunciare a Chipre
06:14ante il Tribunale di Justizia della UE
06:16e volviò a requerire sancioni per la sua falta di gestione dei vertederi ilegali.
06:22Il direttore del Departamento di Medio Ambiente del paese
06:24accède a riunire con noi in uno dei 8 punti limpio della capital.
06:30Il anno passato si classificarono qui 8.000 tonnellate di residuos.
06:33Il governo reconoce décadas di inerzia e di difficoltà in su gestione dei residuos,
06:39sin embargo, affirma che la situazione migliorerà pronto.
07:33Il governo ha reconociuto che il costo di remediare un verità illegale
07:44è più grande che il di operare una installazione legale di gestione dei residuos.
