"It is now the sixth year that Austria has been contaminating Hungary’s only wild river, the Rába. When the residents, civil organisations, local mayors, ministers, Members of European Parliament, and even the president of Hungary protested, the Austrian authorities had the audacity to claim that they are following the EU rules to the letter, thereby putting the problem of the foaming river squarely onto Brussels and onto us, the European Parliament. I personally am well acquainted with the European Union’s legislation on environmental protection, but I am not aware that we ever passed any regulation allowing chemicals to be poured into a river. I do not recall any wish on the part of Europe to see wildlife die out in freshwater bodies, or that there should be foam floating on top of them that causes skin diseases in our children. Anyone who claims that these are EU regulations is lying. The Austrian ministries should not point their fingers at Brussels, or write memos against the Czech nuclear energy plant at Temelin, but instead should stop their own environmental pollution."@en1
