In Czech
In the autumn of 2005 and the following winter, the Czech authorities have revealed a significant amount of municipal waste illegally imported from Germany and inappropriately stored in the so-called black landfill. These wastes threaten both the environment and human health through contamination of soil, water and air. In 2007, reduce the amount of illegal imports of waste into the Czech Republic, however, regulate the transboundary movement of waste remains a matter of public policy of the European countries. This article describes the waste policy in the Czech Republic, Germany and at European Union level, and illuminates the history of illegal transportation of waste from Germany. We conclude that the illegal importation of waste from Germany to the Czech Republic was a foreseeable consequence of the economic incentives created by strong regulatory policy, waste management in Germany and lack of enforcement of the law. Such illegal movements of waste in the European Union not a novelty.
