The initiators point out that the essential change is the equalization of the standards that apply to co-incinerators, with those considered incinerators. Currently, cement plants are subject to milder waste incineration conditions than incinerators.
The proposal also applies to many other activities
But as they are wrote down in economic organizations, is discourse misleading to the proponents, as the solution does not only refer to the field of waste co-incineration.
“In fact, the draft law also regulates other activities, namely in the field monitoring emissions and reporting. There are changes in a large part in contrary to established rules in to the EU and represent a departure from the established practice, which Slovenian companies set in unequal position,” they wrote in joint press release.
According to their warnings, the legal proposal was not created through an in-depth discussion of the professional public, although it is in mostly for highly professional questions.
“It introduces additional reporting that will not in did nothing to improve the situation in environment, as companies will not change technologies as a result. Only the volume of reporting will increase tremendously, which will also be a challenge on the part of the public administration. The proposed law introduces a legal basis for the new environmental duty. It is not clear what the basis for it should be,” they also wrote down in economy.
Solutions should be based on expertise

Slovenian companies should not be pushed in an unequal position, as a result of which it would lose competitiveness,” they also wrote down in organizations.
