Η Περιφερειακή Αρχή απέφυγε να δώσει καθαρή απάντηση για το αν δρομολογεί αποφάσεις, για να έρχονται στην Περιφέρειά μας τα Επικίνδυνα Απόβλητα και ο Αμίαντος όλης της Χώρας.
The answer of the competent Deputy Regional Governor to our QUESTION (click here to read the query), raises intense concerns.
From our side we were asking, if the Regional Authority agrees with the proposal submitted to the PED, by the Mayor of Serbia, to be the site of MAVE, Asbestos landfill for the whole country.
Τονίζουμε ότι δεν υπάρχει καμία απόφαση Δημοτικού Συμβουλίου, no decision of Local Councils, while no information / consultation with local communities has taken place. Also, although the Region is the Agency for the regeneration works of MAVE, no information was given to the Regional Council..
The response of our Deputy Regional Minister of Energy created intense concern and great concern for two main reasons.
Firstly, why did he not respond to the major issue of democratic functioning that arises with the bypassing of the Municipal and Regional Council for such a serious issue?.
Secondly, because it ALSO DISTORTED and it does not seem at all accidental, the decision of the previous Regional Council in order to cover behind the well-known logic "the previous ones are to blame"
The decision of the Regional Council of 28.11.2016 says clearly that we will manage only the products produced in the region Hazardous Waste, και Αμίαντο (click here to read about it)
So while the Deputy Regional Governor started reading "as is" as he said, the decision, failed to read two lines they said «The mood of in the Region of Western Macedonia of Industrial Hazardous Waste, provided for suitable places within the Region,. …»
And while reading the point of the above decision that he was saying «…Other Asbestos waste TO BE PRODUCED IN THE REGION OF WESTERN MACEDONIA MAY BE AVAILABLE IN THE AREA OF FORMER MAVE….» made a strange leap of thought and concluded "….Therefore the RDP proposal does not propose anything other than what is currently in force and which you approved….». Nevertheless the PED proposal talks about the management of Asbestos ALL OVER THE COUNTRY and NOT ONLY THE REGION that as a Regional Council we had approved.
Παραθέτουμε συνημμένα αυτούσια και απομαγνητοφωνημένη την απάντησή της Αντιπεριφερειάρχη, (click here to read about it) as well as the relevant video (πατήστε εδώ για το σχετικό απόσπασμα video)
Με την απάντηση της αυτή η Περιφερειακή Αρχή φαίνεται να αγνοεί σκόπιμα:
- the above decision of the Regional Council approved in November 2016 the Regional Waste Management Plan (ΠΕΣΔΑ) and decides on the Management of Asbestos ONLY in Western Macedonia
and
- the Strategic Environmental Impact Study of the National Hazardous Waste Management Plan (ΕΣΔΕA), which we attach as is (click here to read about it) μαζί με μια συνοπτική παρουσίαση όλων των σημείων στα οποία γίνεται αναφορά για την Περιφέρεια Δυτικής Μακεδονίας και τον Αμίαντο (click here to read about it) and from which it follows that, η Περιφέρεια θα διαχειρίζεται αποκλειστικά και μόνο τα δικά της Επικίνδυνα Απόβλητα και τον δικό της Αμίαντο. Σε όλες τις σχετικές αναφορές για να χρησιμοποιηθεί η Δυτική Μακεδονία και τα ΜΑΒΕ για να θάβεται ε ο Αμίαντος όλης της Χώρας, χρησιμοποιούνται οι όροι, “προβλέπεται”, "Not excluded", "Has been recommended", "May" etc.. On the contrary, for which Regions the relevant decision has already been taken, this is explicitly mentioned.
in conclusion It appears that the previous Regional Council had categorically rejected the use of the former MAVE site as an Asbestos landfill for the whole country and had decided on a small part (cell) of the whole area of MAVE that CAN be used for asbestos deposition coming EXCLUSIVELY and ONLY from the West. Macedonia.
The current Regional Authority with its "high arrivals" answer, seems to admit that :
a) decided, without any decision of the Regional Council, in the area of MAVE TO RECEIVE DANGEROUS WASTE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
b) Μετέτρεψε το «ΔΥΝΑΤΑΙ» σε ΔΕΔΟΜΕΝΗ ΑΠΟΦΑΣΗ και φαίνεται να σχεδιάζει την ένταξη των ΜΑΒΕ στον εθνικό σχεδιασμό για τη δημιουργία μιας νέας “hole” asbestos deposition in a site that has just been restored.
d) While decisions seem to have been made, θα παρουσιάσουν μια εικονική διαβούλευση, applying the well-known…. recipe for "de-lignification"
Because those who want to turn Kamvounia into a National Asbestos Landfill, invoke development, οφείλουν να παρουσιάσουν ένα τεκμηριωμένο σχέδιο που να αποδεικνύει τα λεγόμενά τους.
For our part, we believe that the options for sustainable development in the primary sector and mild tourism development are the key to keeping people in the region., to be installed οικογένειες για να αναπτύξουν οικονομική δραστηριότητα σε μεγάλο βάθος χρόνου.
MAVE while operating showed the way of short-term perspective: Primary production was abandoned, people went to the factory to end-after the inevitable closure of MAVE- workers all over the world leaving their place.
Today the region needs to develop its valuable natural reserve in tourism as a whole, culture and the primary sector. The geological miracle in Bouharia, Hilarion and the regeneration of the area as foreseen in the study of the dam, the small irrigation system in Kamvounia and the irrigation system of the Northern Zone of Polyphytos, processing into what is produced, supporting producers and companies with cheap money and program grants, the vertical axis, είναι κατά την άποψη μας ένα πλέγμα έργων που θα φέρουν την ανάπτυξη.
The area of Serbia, as well as the whole Region, χρειάζεται ένα ΣΧΕΔΙΟ που θα φέρει το αναπτυξιακό σοκ που χρειάζεται για να κινήσει την οικονομία και να κρατήσει τους ανθρώπους στον τόπο τους.
