Niels Paarup-Petersen says that there are clear guidelines for how the information between neighboring countries Denmark and Sweden should be used. He responds that the Danes, on a holiday, Kristian Ascension Day, told us that from Sunday and five days onwards they will release unclean wastewater corresponding to 200 full swimming pools in the Sound.

- The Swedish government must mark against the Danish government, says Niels Paarup-Petersen.

He does not believe that Sweden can stop the emissions, but still wants the government to talk to its Danish colleagues.

How do you think this affects the relationship between Sweden and Denmark:

- You could say that the relationship is pretty crap already and has been there almost since 2015. There have been problems over and over again, and this kind of reinforces the problem, says Niels Paarup-Petersen.

He adds:

- It is a problem for the Öresund region that we get poop on poop, but as much crap as they leave now we have not received before.

The reason for the spill is a preliminary work on an extension of housing in Nordhavn in Copenhagen, which makes the ordinary waste pipe inaccessible for a limited time, reports TV2 Lorry.

Both the City of Copenhagen and the Danish Gentofte Municipality have authorized two sewerage companies to discharge sewage.

“We understand that people are worried and find it disgusting. We have not been aware of this, but have now contacted the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, which is the authority that receives information on environmentally hazardous activities in other countries, "said Gunvor G Ericson, State Secretary at the Environment and Climate Minister Isabella Lövin (MP), in a written commentary to TT.

But according to the environmental administration in the city of Copenhagen, it is better to release the wastewater now than in the autumn.

- The permit is granted before the bathing season begins. If we instructed Hofor to wait until October, as proposed, the sea temperature could be higher and the environmental impact therefore greater, says Hans Christian Karsten, Deputy Director of Technology and Environmental Management in the City of Copenhagen, to the Danish news agency Ritzau.
