Environment Minister Sergio Costa on
Tuesday said more should be done for the environmental
improvement of the ILVA steel plant in Taranto, Puglia.
"As far as the environment is concerned, much more can be
done", Costa said on the sidelines of a congress at the Lower
House. "I agree on the fact that a breakthrough is necessary to
safeguard the environment of ILVA".
The minister went on to say that "what has been done so far
is too little, I hope that more can be done".
Costa said he agreed with Labor and Industry Minister and
Deputy Premier Luigi Di Maio in favor of a "new proposal" that
we are "waiting for".
Di Maio has said that the plan of Italo-Indian consortium
Arcelor Mittal for an environmental clean-up at the highly
polluting steel plant is not satisfactory, demanding guarantees
from the company to ensure environmental improvement.
