Answer

Who would pay for sending waste from Ibiza and Formentera to Mallorca?

That is one of the main unresolved issues. The debate includes whether the extra ferry and transport costs would be covered by the islands involved, by a shared inter-island fund, or through regional budget support. A transparent fee structure has been suggested, but no final agreement has been set out.
