Flooding of a wetland area caused by the construction of a dam in the Tarn
10.1.2014
Question for written answer P-000223-14
to the Commission
Rule 117
Catherine Grèze (Verts/ALE)
On 13 November 2103, Mr Potočnik told me that, in view of the information that had been brought to his attention, the Commission had decided to request information from the French authorities to satisfy itself that the objectives of Directive 2000/60/EC would not be jeopardised by the construction of the SIVENS dam in the Tarn, and that the requirements of the directive had indeed been complied with.
Two months after receiving that answer, and with the tree clearing operation in the wetland area set to go ahead in February 2014, I would like to know whether the Commission has been able to obtain the relevant information and what action it intends to take in this matter.
