Commission answer to Written Question E-012063/2013 on lack of filters in flag factory

7.3.2014

Question for written answer E-002757-14
to the Commission
Rule 117
Angelika Werthmann (ALDE)

It is clear from eye-witness reports that what the Commission, in its answer to the abovementioned question, calls ‘the extensive project documentation’ does not address all aspects of the issue. In the opinion of the eye witnesses, there are indeed health risks present, which are apparently not mentioned in the documentation.

1. What means are available at European level to enable the Commission and the people affected to check how much the national authorities knew in this case?

2. How can the Commission require the national authorities to ensure, for the good of the citizens affected, that the provisions of the relevant directives are observed and how can the veracity of the documentation be checked?
