".
I do not accept that the Commission has been passive. I was there immediately after the accident. I offered the Spanish authorities funding or co-funding for an environmental impact study. We have been in active contact with the Spanish authorities, but we cannot force ourselves upon the Spanish Government or people. We have to work in collaboration. We also immediately followed up in political terms, proposing different measures in order to be able to repair damage of this kind and we have also set aside money both from the structural funds and the solidarity fund.
If the Spanish Government wants more money or assistance, we expect it to contact us to determine exactly what should be done. I also hope it is considering our offer to make the environmental impact study I mentioned, because this is for the longer term and would be very useful in preventing such accidents from happening again.
Again I underline that we took the necessary measures immediately after this accident and will continue to react immediately. Our civil protection unit was also activated immediately. We have been doing everything in our power to assist and help the Spanish Government, authorities and people. We are willing to listen to any further requests that may arise and we will deal with them in an appropriate manner."@en1
