Ebro transfer
22.4.2004
WRITTEN QUESTION E-1378/04
by José García-Margallo y Marfil (PPE-DE) and Cristina Gutiérrez-Cortines (PPE-DE)
to the Commission
Just over a month ago, during Spain's general election campaign, the existence of internal Commission documents voicing doubts about the Ebro transfer project came to light. Commission sources subsequently stated that these documents did not prejudice the validity of the Ebro transfer.
Spain's new Environment Minister, Cristina Narbona, announced recently that there were Commission reports rejecting the Ebro transfer.
Can the Commission confirm when and by whom a formal and legally binding rejection of the project was issued?
