"Mr President, I believe we are looking at the tip of the iceberg. This is not a chance happening, it is not an isolated case, we are talking about the number-one company in the construction materials sector: . We are talking about its Spanish subsidiary which has been fined 18 times for not declaring the content of its waste. We are talking about a time period of four years, when the time limit for returning the waste should be 30 days. What has happened over these three and a half years or more? What has the European Commission done? We are asking the Commission for a policy of zero tolerance. As I speak, I am sure there are dozens and dozens of ships in the same situation. What is that company doing exporting vast quantities of the same material to Algeria, having been fined 18 times, without any public transfer and without the Commission finding out? We believe that the European Commission should step in through the adoption of clear penalties in the event of infringements. Infringement proceedings should be opened to ascertain the causes and the people responsible for the disaster. We cannot wait around for fine words in relation to this disaster; we cannot accept a quarrel which goes on and on forever."@en1
