(Title) big questions about whether and by what criteria and process of the European Commission rejected the EP resolution
From solemn statements by lobbyists of mining companies became known that the European Commission refuses to take steps to respond to the resolution of the European Parliament on 5 May, calling for a complete ban on mining using cyanide in the European Union.
This resolution was accepted by the vast majority of MEPs with 488 votes in favor, 48 against and 57 abstentions. The resolution was an initiative of Hungarian MEP, who originally teamed with Michael Tremopoulo by the European Greens and then managed jointly to convince MEPs from all political groups in the EP.
For European Policy for cyanosis but also for specific use cases of cyanide in mining in Bulgaria threatening pollution and the Ebro has tabled questions to the Commission by the Green Party MEP Michael Green. Tremopoulos. In Greece there are at least three cases of investment projects with a metal cyanide, which at present have stopped thanks to feedback from residents and litigation.
«It is extremely worrying, decisions of European institutions to be disclosed by lobbyists’ financial interests, before the official presentation, “said Michael Tremopoulos. Even more disturbing, however, when, instead of environmental protection initiatives, the European Commission insists on the continuation of one of the most dangerous and destructive practices in the industry. Instead of upgrading the role of the European Parliament, ignores an environmental resolution to one of the strongest majorities in history. Instead of openness and consultation with civil society, acting in scenes procedures and unclear criteria ».
