Bloody shame we don't ban the Italians from Munich during Octoberfest!

Here's the source: German city bans waste from Italy

QUOTE (BBC News)

Workers in the German city of Hamburg have been told to stop processing Italian hospital waste after finding high levels of radioactivity in it. The waste in question came from the Italian region of Campania, which includes the city of Naples. Waste problems there have been blamed on illegal dumping by the local mafia.

Gack! That waste burner is only 3km away. Naples is supposed to be paying Hamburg 3.5 million euros to process 300,000 tonnes of garbage. Sounds cheap.

Sounds different to what I heard on the news which said that the Hamburg incinerator would sort out the radio active dump from the rest and process it separately.

Bill sent to the mafia.
