Over 23 tons of PVC waste from Bulgaria meant for Germany, stopped by Giurgiu Border Police

More than 23 tons of PVC waste transported from Bulgaria by a Hungarian driver for a commercial company in Germany were stopped by the Romanian border police at Giurgiu Border Crossing Point for incomplete cross-border transfer documents.

"Border police officers from the Giurgiu Border Crossing Point stopped for control, on the way to the country, a means of transport driven by a 32-year-old Hungarian citizen. According to the documents presented, the driver was transporting PVC waste, loaded from Bulgaria and destined for a company in Germany. Having suspicions about the legality of this transport, the border police requested authorized support from the commissioners of the Giurgiu Environmental Guard. Thus, during the checks, it was established that in the means of transport there was a total amount of 23,775 kilograms of PVC waste," shows a press release issued on Thursday by Giurgiu Border Police.

After checking the transfer documents, it turned out that they are incomplete, which is why the competent authorities did not allow the means of transport to enter Romania, the waste being returned to the sending company.AGERPRES
