"Border police officers from the Bors II and Nadlac II border crossing points, together with the Bihor and Arad County National Environmental Guard and the Arad National Consumer Protection Authority, did not allow entry into Romania of four lorries loaded with over 51 tonnes of waste, for which the drivers could not present the required importation papers," the Border Police report.
Bihor and Arad border police officers checked the four lorries driven by Romanian citizens, June 30 - July 1.

The checks revealed that the trucks were loaded with 51,160 kilograms of waste, for which the drivers did not present the necessary importation papers."
