"contaminación del suelo" in English

(SV) The pollution of industrial land is a big problem in Europe.

At this rate, we would need more than 220 years to finish cleaning up the soil pollution we know about today.

A particularly important achievement of the compromise is that financial guarantees are now required to cover the potential cost arising from land affected by a waste facility.

In the differentiation of the toll, we will be able for the first time to allow for external costs such as ground contamination, blockage and noise costs.

I trust that, if this legislation is created, an opportunity will open up for us to work using Union resources on cleaning soil from pollution and protecting its quality.

We in the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development are concerned by the impact intensifying soil contamination is having on our agricultural produce and on the environment.
