Stricter co-incineration legislation unanimously passed

Ljubljana, 7 March - Parliament voted 68:0 on Thursday to pass changes to the Environment Protection Act that bring stricter emission standards for co-incineration. The bill was filed last autumn by several NGOs which campaign for clean air and water in the area of Salonit Anhovo, a cement factory in the Soča Valley, west, that also burns waste.
