<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"The Efienergia SL enterprise has begun to take measures to restore land affected by clay extraction, involving the use of waste pellets for landfill purposes in the La Vinya del Tort area of Sant Mateu de Bages (Catalonia). However, the Efienergia SL enterprise is in fact seeking to open a new landfill with a capacity of 110000tonnes per year, making it the largest in the county, the landfill at the Bufalvent industrial estate in Manresa having a capacity of 50000tonnes per year.  It should be emphasised that the enterprise is not proposing any solution for transporting the waste or preventing unpleasant odours. Furthermore, it has not presented any wastewater analyses, particularly relating to rainwater leaching into the subsoil, possibly contaminating the groundwater with all the inert and active substances contained in the plastic-coated pellets of urban solid waste, with all the problems this would entail for the Cardener River.  Finally, it should be noted that the landfill would be located in the town of Sant Mateu de Bages, while the waste would come from the metropolitan region of Barcelona.  Does the Commission take the view that a landfill in Sant Mateu de Bages, in addition to infringing town planning and environmental regulations, would also be an infringement of Directive2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19November2008, which lays down criteria of proximity and self-sufficiency regarding waste treatment, specifying accordingly that waste must be treated near to where it is generated in order to avoid unnecessary and unsustainable transport operations?"
