"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I too wish to speak on this subject, seeing that – as was reported by the delegation from Parliament’s Committee on Petitions, which recently travelled to the Susa Valley in Piedmont, Italy – the valley has been occupied by the military in order to force the members of the community to accept the construction of a 54 km railway tunnel, although they are all against it. These inhabitants fear for the environment and for their health, quite rightly, given the presence of asbestos. They have put forward some serious, valid, well-documented alternative proposals. Rather than listen to them, though, the authorities are resorting to force, as was also demonstrated by the mistreatment suffered by my colleague, Mr Agnoletto. The parliamentary delegation has deemed this situation to be an insult to the population and has declared that an independent inquiry is needed to verify possible violations of European regulations, which would be even less acceptable in the case of a project that was supposed to be a Community project. I believe that the European Parliament should take on board the proposals of the delegation from the Committee on Petitions, since it is only fair that the Susa Valley benefit from an Olympic truce as well."@en1
