A legal dispute has emerged regarding the remediation of a national interest site in Crotone, Calabria. The Regional Administrative Court of Calabria challenged a 2019 regional ordinance known as the ‘paur’, which mandated that toxic waste from the site be transferred and disposed of outside the Calabria region to mitigate local pollution.

Eni Rewind successfully appealed the measure, citing jurisdictional contradictions between the Calabria Region and the Ministry of the Environment. The court noted that the central administration had allegedly “abdicated its legal prerogatives and competencies” regarding the remediation process. The conflict involves competing proposals for the waste, including leaving it in situ with safety measures, utilizing an Eni-owned landfill, or using a private landfill in Cosenza. Local authorities, including the Municipality and Province of Crotone, have historically opposed the proposals put forward by Eni.
