Cabinet Holds Year's Last Session, Postpones Expansion of Landfills
The Cabinet on Tuesday held its last session for 2017, during which it decided to postpone a decision on expanding the Costa Brava and Bourj Hammoud garbage landfills.
“There were two agenda items on waste management – the expansion of Costa Brava and composting and the general plan of waste management. The two issues were combined and a ministerial panel has been formed to study the entire topic and raise it in Cabinet's next session, because the matter cannot bear further delay,” acting information minister Pierre Bou Assi said after the session.
“The solution for the two issues requires a transitional period to prevent the accumulation of garbage on the streets,” the minister added.
The Cabinet also decided to extend for another year the contracts of mobile network operators Zain Group (touch) and Orascom Telecom (Alfa) pending “a comprehensive national mobile network plan.”
