lpv:translated text	"Question No 34 by Claude Turmes (): The implementation of the Coal Plan in 1998 has seen the Minero Siderúgica de Ponferrada SA (MSP) company receive millions of euros in subsidies, supposedly to create jobs and establish alternative industries. Five years on, unemployment has soared (over 1500 jobs lost) and no industries have been established to compensate by creating new jobs. The subsidies are supposed to allow MSP to achieve market competitiveness by 2005, and diversify the district’s economy. However, what has actually happened is that the subsidies have been diverted to companies which contribute nothing to the local economy. Virtually all underground mining operations have been closed down, so that a major part of coal production now comes from the opencast Fonfria and Feixolin mines. These two mines, those finished and those which it is intended to open, mean the destruction of the Laciana Valley (an acknowledged World Biosphere Reserve, Special Bird Protection Area and Site of Community Interest). If what is at stake is maintaining a ‘strategic coal reserve’ for emergencies, does the Commission not believe that it would be reasonable to leave easily accessible and exploitable coal seams untouched, the very seams being used for this opencast mining – and maintain the prerequisite underground coal mining for present needs, which is capable of generating employment?"@en1
