Veolia also supports illegal settlements through the Tovlan landfill site in
the occupied Jordan Valley, taking refuse from settlements, owned and
operated by Veolia through its subsidiary TMM and runs two bus services
109 and 110 operated by its local company Connex. This service links the
settlements to Israel by a road on which until recently West Bank
Palestinians were forbidden to travel.
The United Nations Human Rights Council on 14th April 2010 expressed its
grave concern at “The Israeli decision to establish and operate a tramway
between West Jerusalem and the Israeli settlement of Pisgat Zeev, which
is in clear violation of international law and relevant United Nations
resolutions.”
I hope that you will support the human rights of the Palestinian people in
this matter - as have Swansea, Cork, Donegal and Dublin Councils the past
year - in requesting North London Waste Authority use their discretion in
removing Veolia from its list of contractors eligible to tender for contracts.
