Can deposits
Berlin — Upcoming amendments to Germany’s law mandating deposits on beverage containers will satisfy all the provisions of a European Court of Justice ruling, a Berlin spokesman said recently.
The court in Luxembourg issued its verdict earlier in the day on the issue, which has divided German industry and political parties.
Fishing ban
LONDON — FISHING should be banned in almost a third of all UK territorial waters and marine reserves created to replenish vanishing stocks, a royal commission urged recently. The radical proposal, which would lead to the compulsory decommissioning of more trawlers, recommends that permits should only be granted where it can be shown that fishing would be sustainable and not harm the sea bed.
