"Question No 51 by Sarah Ludford ()
Will the Commission now reach a speedy decision on infringement proceedings against the UK for breach of the Urban Waste Water Directive due to overflows of raw sewage into the River Thames? Is it aware that the UK regulator, the Environment Agency, ‘believes that most of the combined sewer overflows do not meet the requirements of the UWWTD’? What view does the Commission take of the fact that the UK Department for Environment (DEFRA) refuses to release the legal advice given to the Thames Tideway Strategic Study which brings together the various agencies? Will the Commission help London avoid the embarrassment that this pollution scandal, if not resolved, will cause to the 2012 Olympics, both to water sports and because the proposed athletes’ village will overlook the overflow at Abbey Mills with its associated smells and unsightly mess?"@en1
