Department Stores May Pay ‘Pollution Fee’ For Home Delivery
- 14 Mar 2017 6:00 AM
The increasingly popular home delivery service of large food chain stores, usually operating within 50- 60 km radiuses, places extra burden on environment and traffic, Péter Lenkei of environmentalist group Levegő Munkacsoport told daily Magyar Idők.
The new fees would be a step towards large department store chains pulling their weight in environment protection, he said.
The suggestion came before talks between economy ministry and government office officials, aiming to draft a new trade policy package including legislation on environment and consumer protection, food safety and employment regulations, the paper said.
