CYPRadar 🇨🇾💰 Union of Municipalities Criticizes Landfill Tax, Warns of Economic and Environmental Risks
The Union of Municipalities has voiced serious concerns about the implementation of the landfill tax, warning that it could have significant economic and environmental repercussions. The union criticized the lack of comprehensive planning and a coherent state strategy, highlighting that fragmented decisions and delays are placing additional financial burdens on municipalities and residents.
The union emphasized that the failure of the state to develop necessary waste management infrastructure has already increased municipalities' financial obligations. They warned that continuing without a coordinated national strategy risks losing €23 million in European funding for recycling and waste management projects, crucial for meeting both national and European environmental goals.
Calling on the government to take responsibility, the union demanded a comprehensive national waste management plan and better use of EU funds to build the necessary infrastructure. They stressed that municipalities and residents should not bear the costs of state shortcomings and urged timely planning and political will to end the environmentally harmful practice of landfilling waste.
