"First I should like to say that I have submitted a written question along the same lines as that put by my fellow member Mihail Papayannakis. Secondly, I should like to say in all honesty that, as a Greek citizen, I am shocked by what you have said. In other words, that we do not know and the Greek Government does not know, no-one knows what has happened to over half our toxic waste. From what you have said, I think that my fellow countrymen in Greece should be worried, and with good cause.
I should like to put two questions to you. The first is: what sanctions will be imposed on Greece? Do you think it is sufficient merely to take recourse to the Court, which could take three or four years to reach a verdict? In the meantime, what about public health in Greece? Toxic waste is an extremely important issue.
My second question is this: assuming that Greece is convicted for the waste, for the waste management in Hania in Crete, can you tell us, in general terms, where you think the problem with the application of environmental legislation in Greece lies? Which specific areas of Community legislation are causing problems? Because I know, for example, that there are also problems with the management of nitric compounds."@en1
