lpv:translated text	"Mr President, last June the Committee on Petitions travelled to my region, Asturias, and spoke with several petitioners. A group of petitioners presented Mr Gemelli with a petition denouncing the planned route for a motorway in my region – the Cantabrian motorway – because it appears that it violates Community law and also seriously jeopardises very significant farming operations funded by the EAGGF. Meanwhile, I also presented a question which Mrs Wallström replied to in a preliminary fashion and which she will reply to at length later, as she has said. What surprises us is that, without having debated this issue in the Committee on Petitions and without having received a second reply from Mrs Wallström, an MEP from the majority group in this Parliament, accompanied by the Secretary-General of his party, should have visited Mrs Loyola de Palacio, had talks with two top officials from the European Commission and appeared publicly in my region saying that the case was closed. Mr President, this is an attack on the credibility of this Parliament and on the competences of the Committee on Petitions. It also calls into question the independence of the European Commission, in this case, and of certain Commission officials, and what I would like, Mr President – and I will end here – is for it to be verified whether this was the case. We cannot allow a decision to be taken before there is a debate in the European Parliament’s Committee on Petitions. I would ask the President – and I will send him more documentation – please to ascertain whether this was the case."@en1
