Mike Anane ist Umweltjournalist in der ghanaischen Hauptstadt Accra. Er beobachtet seit Jahren die ankommenden Containerladungen mit Elektroaltgeräten. Diese Dinge, die wir in der "1. Welt" wegwerfen und die dann auf einer der weltweit größten Müllkippen in Agbogbloshie (Ghana) landen, sind zum Großteil als "mildtätige Spenden" deklariert, in Wahrheit aber nur Schrott. Dort werden sie unter höchst gesundheitsschädlichen Bedingungen von Kindern und Jugendlichen "weiterverarbeitet": Beispielsweise werden Plasikumhüllungen von Kabeln abgebrannt, um an das wertvolle Kupfer heranzukommen. Die Rohstoffe werden dann vor allem nach China weiterverkauft, wo sie wiederum in die Produktion gehen.

Mike Anane schildert die aktuellen Umstände in Ghana.

ab 3:18 min the situation here in ghana

" well not much has changed in terms of the illegal shipment of electronic waste from the industrializes countries to ghana. so much electronic waste is coming from these countries such as holland, germany, the united states, canada. most of the...?.. italian..?
so not much has changed. in terms of the environmental impact and also the situation of public health nothing has changed. and in terms of the volumes of shipments nothing has changed as well. "

4:45min wer profitiert?
"the question is who is benefitting from the illegal shipments. we cannot doubt the involvement of organised crime...? when you look at the ..? when you look at the ..?.. there are other players involved and we can talk of some charitable organisations for instance. but the bottom line is: electronic waste is toxic, electronic waste is harmful and it must go somewhere. and they're coming to africa, they're coming to ghana, where people are so much ignorant about the .. ?.. of electronic waste. in fact these days there is so much awareness, but still it amazes so many people how come these shipments of electronic waste are able to leave the shores of the developped countries and come the places like ghana. the involvement of organised crime is very high."

6:21min has something changed?
"nothing has changed - there is still coming so much electronic waste from the developped countries and it is important, that the developped countries but in place very stringent (?) measures


7:00 legal framework
"it is important for the developped countries or industrialized countries to harmonise regulations, laws, legislations, regarding the illegal shipment of e-waste. you cannot have different seperate regulations in different parts of the european union. it is important, that the regulations are harmonized. but the target remains the same. it is important the neet to join forces to tackle the illegal shipment of e-waste to ghana and africa. that is one. it is also important for the consumers to play a role .. at the end of the day you don't really need an i-pen (?) and you can afford not to buy it because in the end it soon comes to a place like ghana. and then you can definitely do something about the situation to change the situation in places of the world like in ghana. manufacteres have a role to play - it is important the manufacteres ... ? the components... the chemicals...that way it would be easy to recycle and disposal electronic waste at the end of life. so be that some of the measure that the industrialized countries, germany, holland, the united kingdom, the united states could do to .. fight (?) of illegal shipment of electronic waste to ghana.

8:39min do manufactureres have to take back their products at the end of life?
"Not that i'm informed. in some parts of the world that would enable or edge (?) manufacturerers to take back their products when they're no longer needed but i don't know what these reguations really working. i wonder ... at the end of life.. they're taking back the.. the question is whether these regulations are working.. otherwise you would not see that much electronic waste. so


ab min 10:00 where does it come from?
uk, germany, holland, us - i seen some from denmark, sweden, some from norway, i've seen some from finland. lately i've seen a lot coming from italy. they have to take measures...
