Deputy promises to clean up drug waste within week

That promised the Brabant provincial executive Johan van den Hout (SP) today in the NOS Radio 1 Journal. He calls it scandalous that the municipality of Someren has not done so.

This morning showed that researchers first waste of ecstasy production are found in corn. The accompanying ranch was dismantled a large ecstasy lab in March last year that the chemical waste disappeared into slurry pits. The farmer has a portion of the contaminated manure from those wells last year racked his country.

Because the congregation and the Dutch Food Safety Authority point to another, the waste has still not been cleaned up.

"It can not be true that people for months alongside drug waste should live because governments are at kissebissen," Van den Hout responds. It stinks around the farm and by the fumes have residents suffer from respiratory irritation and headaches.

Tidy up

"If the municipality does not clean up the lot, then the province must do it only if necessary. The bill we finally put it down where it belongs."

The cost can run into the barrels. If it will work for that to recover from the farmer is still questionable. The man was arrested last year when the lab was rolled up but released after a few days because of his involvement was probably limited. He is still suspect in the case, but the man has no fixed residence or stay. The case is still under investigation.

The mayor of Someren will not comment on the Radio 1 news on the case. Nevertheless Van den Hout blame him. "I do not think that style."
