The environmental lobby group is making a formal complaint to the European Commission. It wants to pressure the Department of Agriculture and Food to be more careful about the way it tracks, transports, stores and treats BSE material.

An Taisce wants the BSE material classified as hazardous waste, which would require it to be treated differently to current treatment.
