"We have proposed a resolution intended to ban the use of cyanide technologies in mining as it is our duty to take every safety measure to protect people and the environment from ecological disasters. If we are able to make historic commitments on cutting emissions and set the tone for the whole world in terms of environmental protection, why can we not make a basic gesture in support of a clean environment and abolish this harmful practice from the European Union? The Baia Mare accident, which occurred in Romania 10 years ago, is regarded in the same way as Chernobyl, affecting three countries and destroying the ecosystems in the affected rivers over hundreds of kilometres. Now, again in Romania, they are intending to construct a new mining operation in Roşia Montană using cyanide technologies. This is why today, even more than ever, I wish to thank you for voting against the use of cyanide technologies in mining. The regions affected by this must be helped by the European Union to develop on a sustainable basis, utilising their full potential."@en1
