The Bulgarian Association of Cement Industry (BACI) is going to complain to the European Commission over Turkish imports of cement containing dangerous chemical substances.
The complaint will be directed against the Bulgarian state over its failure to obey EU legislation by allowing the imports of Turkish-made cement containing excessive quantities of hexavalent chromium that is dangerous for human health.
The news was announce Thursday by Aleksander Kar, the Chair of BACI, explained the association was currently preparing all the necessary documentation in order to file its complaint.
Kar was positive that the cement made in Turkey, and imported into Bulgaria, a EU member, did not meet the Bulgarian and EU legal requirements.
In his words, the dangerous Turkish cement has been imported to Bulgaria with fake documentation certifying that it was safe. Two months after BACI has alerted the respective Bulgarian institutions about the dangerous cement, still no action has been taken.
BACI declared that the whole situation with the import of Turkish cement was criminal, and that the Interior Ministry and the National Security Agency were "interested" in investigating it.
According to BACI, in January-April 2009, more than 150 000 tons of dangerous Turkish cement were imported into Bulgaria, which was about 20% of all the cement used in Bulgaria.
