Clarification from environment office<\/p>\n
With respect to a news report titled Waste to be sent back to
\nthe Netherlands, specifically with regard to the import of the
\npaper waste amounting to 20 40-foot containers, as published in
\nThe Jakarta Post on May 17, the Office of the State Minister for
\nthe Environment would like to give the following clarification:<\/p>\n
* According to the bill of lading issued in Bremen, Germany,
\ndated Feb. 2, the said waste came from the United Kingdom
\n(Grosvenor Waste Management Limited, Century Wharf, Crayford
\nCreek, Crayford, Kent DA 1 4 Qd, United Kingdom), through
\nRotterdam.<\/p>\n
* Rotterdam was the \"port of loading\", not \"the country of
\norigin\" of the said waste.<\/p>\n
* As stated in the import documents for the consignment, imported
\nwaste must be returned to the waste's country of origin (not to
\nthe country where the loading is conducted) if it is not in
\nconformity with the prevailing import stipulations.<\/p>\n
General chronology:<\/p>\n
The waste from the United Kingdom (Grosvenor Waste Management
\nLtd.) was dispatched to Germany.<\/p>\n
In Germany, a German company undertook the packing and
\npackaging of the waste into containers.<\/p>\n
The containers containing the waste were later transported to
\nRotterdam Port aboard a \"river vessel\".<\/p>\n
The containers were loaded onto the CSCL Felixstowe vessel in
\nRotterdam Port.<\/p>\n
The CSCL Felixstowe departed for Jakarta and arrived at
\nTanjung Priok harbor.<\/p>\n
