  Apparently due to lax border checks between EU countries, German companies were able to illegally dump thousands of tons of trash in Hungary last year.  Wise to this scheme, Hungary is now sending back the trash, or at least half of it.  In addition, the Hungarian companies who let this happen are also being fined.  On the positive side, it’s nice to see we can resolve these things with check books and not guns these days.
