". – On 24 March I had a short meeting with the new Spanish Minister of the Environment, Mrs Elvira Rodríguez, during which we touched on a number of issues, including the Spanish National Hydrological Plan, and in particular the proposed Ebro transfer. Both the Minister and I recognised that there are a number of fundamental environmental issues where expert opinion remains deeply divided.
As Commissioner for the Environment I am particularly interested in the projected future flow rates in the Ebro river, as well as the definition of the flow regime necessary to protect the ecological and chemical status of the lower Ebro and the Ebro Delta.
One of the ideas that came out of my discussion with the Minister was to organise a small meeting bringing together some of the key experts – Spanish Government experts, academics and NGOs – in order to address some of these outstanding issues. I suggested that the Environment Institute at the Commission's Joint Research Centre site in Ispra might be a suitable location for such a meeting. Neither the agenda nor the procedures for identifying the experts to be invited to the meeting have yet been agreed. It is therefore unlikely that the meeting can be organised before June at the earliest."@en1
