"I would like to call attention to the condition of a beautiful Hungarian river, the Rába. Since 2003, the Austrian section of the river has been polluted by three leather factories using naphthalene sulfonate for tanning, and discharging it into the Rába at the end of the tanning process. This makes the living water foam and it has quite a strong odour, thus having a negative effect on aquatic life and keeping tourists and sportspeople away from the river. The problem has already elicited complaints from the population even on the Austrian side. In Hungary it is constantly mentioned in the press, and the pollution is particularly damaging to the population living along the upper section of the Rába, an area of wild beauty attracting a significant level of fishing and water tourism. As this is a cross-border problem, I ask my honourable Austrian colleagues to help speed up the process and help protect our common treasure, the river Rába, in our border areas, in the spirit of the traditional friendship between the two countries."@en1
