The European Parliament’s ENVI committee objected to adding two Indian ship-recycling facilities to the EU-approved list, citing environmental and worker-safety concerns linked to beaching.
The European Parliament’s environment committee voted on November 4 to oppose the European Commission’s proposal to add two Indian ship-recycling yards to the EU list of approved facilities. The decision is not yet a final rejection: the full Parliament is expected to consider the objection later, followed by the remaining EU approval process.
