CONCLUSION
Big efforts to cope with EU and national requirements
Objectives and targets fullfilment-Some already accomplished-Some will be hard to accomplish – e.g. diverting biodegradable waste from landfills
Important factors influencing the speed of fullfillment:- financing factor - social factor (education, public awareness, approach to public in project planning)
