Why you waste sent to Brazil?
Posted on October 13th, 2009 by admin
Tax Federal Revenue found 750 tons of garbage in the port of Rio Grande (RS). The material was transported by ship from England and was sent in place of imported products by a company gaúcha.
Within the container brought to Brazil by the English were tons of plastic, paper and glass, as well as syringes and condoms. One of the tanks took toys, with tickets stating: "Give them toys to poor children in Brazil. Wash before using. "
The cargo is detained in port. The ships arrived in Rio Grande do Sul between February and May. The National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) was notified to evaluate the risk of contamination.
The investigations show that the containers with trash left from England, made in Belgium and scale landing in Santos (SP) and Rio Grande. The material brought to the Rio Grande do Sul would be a business destination of Bento Gonçalves.
The Federal Revenue Inspector in Rio Grande, Marco Medeiros says the suspicion is that the transmission was responsible for the administration of waste in Europe, which are blended. Africa often receive material illegally.
The Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) fined the companies that imported and transported the material. The containers must be brought back to England. The deadline is ten days, but businesses can use.
Working in the Revenue Service, the Federal Public Ministry, the Anvisa and Ibama. For the federal prosecutor Carlos Julio Castro Jr., it is still early to establish what type of criminal penalty shall be the transgressors. "We are reviewing the documentation. If the customs authorities of these countries really were circumvented on the content of the cargo, which is beyond this garbage should return. Brazil can not become a receptacle for trash of other nations," he said.
Sure, I used a translator.
