After October 7th, the Ministry of Environment, in cooperation with the
Ministry of Defense will start working for removing all business
subjects that collect old vehicles and their parts near national roads.
The Deputy Minister of Environment, Taulant Bino declared at the Environment Commission that there are 290 such businesses in Albania, most of them without environment permits.
“The 290 locations are problematic as regards the environment quality and road safety. They must leave the national roads, but this transfer will surely be made through regular requests and under some conditions. They must take permission from the local and environmental authorities, or the car graveyards will be removed after the 1 month deadline, maybe even with the help of other ministries”, Bino declared.
The opposition MPs declared that this act should be implemented, because this way will be identified the cars that stand in these car graveyards, 25% of which might be unregistered and could have been used for criminal purposes.
“The media have been saying that these car graveyards will be cleaned within one month, but people must be clear that this doesn’t solve the problem”, declared the Socialist MP, Blendi Klosi.
Only around Tirana there are 63 car graveyards that cannot find a place where to transfer. If their owners will not move, the army will be involved to seize all their materials.
