 Algerian Report on POPs
Each province must therefore be responsible for its own storage area, with a view to minimizing the risk associated with transport and to avoid other risks.
As far as the undertaking of a storage centre for PCB wastes is concerned, it should be remembered that is a question of putting in a safe place large quantities of wastes that are highly dangerous and which are currently stored in poor conditions by their owners.
In regard to the management of the centre, for the time being, this should be entrusted to the host Province, pending finalization of a global formula for the management of all toxic wastes, which was the subject of a communication from the Government during the fourth quarter of 1989.
