The European Commission has drawn up to 'the beginning of the month, the ranking of Europe's beaches and the result is disastrous:
313 with a ban on bathing beaches in across the continent of which 300 only in Italy!
The comparison with Spain and Greece is more frightening: not even have a beach to bathers prohibited.
For Italy this is just a vague memory that goes back seven years ago, from that moment to be found in our seas toxic acids, mineral oils, bacteria population of the faeces, detergents and who knows what else.
The southern Tyrrhenian is basically composed of panels of prohibitions but neither the central Adriatic beaches in terms of jokes and even prohibited in some areas of Sicily and Puglia, the sea was polluted.
This certainly does not limit the bathers Italians who, fearless, able to dive in waters inhabited by who knows how many populations of microorganisms and toxins in spite of, not only obvious signs of prohibition, but also petrochemical poles that rise toward the sky with their smoke.
Melilla classic examples in the province of Siracusa and Gela.
But the excuse of purifiers can convince people that the water is clean ... even if the smell unbearable and nauseating that emanates from these industries would be enough to scare away a pass (which I have seen from me in Melilla).
Now the EU asks Italy and draws more checks, but I do not think this warning and even the chance to increase tourism to convince some people not to earn money with the construction of buildings to one centimeter from the sea and the production of oil, not to mention the discharge of substances in the seas.
And who knows if the Minister 's Environment will think to put more controls and stricter laws for those citizens that are polluting the coast with the waste of their time at sea. This does not happen in Barcelona Spain where not only are the trash bins, but there is a collection ... inimmaginabine in Italy!
