Provisional Halt to Waste Transfers: Who Pays the Price Between the Islands?

Answer

Why has the waste transport plan from Ibiza and Formentera to Mallorca been put on hold?

The planned trial phase was postponed because the decree needed to provide a legal basis did not pass in parliament. Without that framework, the authorities cannot move ahead with ferry arrangements, facility planning, or binding contracts in Mallorca. The project is now delayed until a workable solution is found.
