".
Mr President, I would like to say briefly to the honourable Member that I did in fact receive a visit – and I receive many visits – from a series of representatives who not only visited me but also the Directorate-General for the Environment, which is responsible for dealing with the issue which the honourable Member refers to. This type of visit to the Commission is normal. Furthermore, on certain occasions I have also met with the honourable Member and other people and these meetings furthermore seem to me to be extremely important in terms of becoming aware of what social groups and people are thinking. What we have to avoid when we are in the Commission, in Brussels, is losing contact with reality.
Having said this, I cannot get into what the people who visit me say or the content of what they freely express. I cannot get into it, but I would like to say firstly that I am not responsible with regard to the initiation of any possible procedures or investigations relating to these issues, which fall within the competence of my colleague, Mrs Wallström; secondly, with regard to the Committee on Petitions, I do not have any responsibility here either, because it falls to this Parliament to deal with these issues."@en1
