Press Release: Greece: Commission sends final warning over wastewater case

The European Commission sent a final written warning to Greece for failing to comply with a European Court of Justice ruling on urban wastewater. The ruling concerns the building of an urban wastewater collecting and treatment system in the Thriassio Pedio area to prevent pollution from being discharged in the Gulf of Elefsina. In the absence of measures to quicken the pace of the installations' construction the Commission could again refer Greece to the European Court of Justice and ask for fines to be imposed.
