Delays in Landfill Restoration in Cyprus
May 25, 2025
The European Commission is referring Cyprus to the European Court for non-compliance with the waste landfill directive. The sites in Kotsiatis and Vati have not been restored as required by European law. The Ministry of Agriculture has announced a restoration plan expected to be completed by 2026 in Nicosia and 2029 in Limassol. However, delays and technical problems raise concerns about public health and the environment.
