". Mr President, I wish to thank Members for their comments. The sheer number of people who have supported the petitions covered by Mrs Fourtou’s report demonstrates that the application of the LRAU law in Valencia is raising problems.
As I indicated at the beginning of this debate, most of the problems encountered fall outside the scope of Community law. While the Commission understands the concerns raised, it is not in a position to provide a solution.
Where problems of compatibility with Community law are identified, the Commission will not fail to act and will take the necessary steps aimed at rectifying the situation. This is the case for public procurement aspects of the LRAU law. We have identified a number of problems in this area, and infringement proceedings against Spain were opened. We are pursuing these procedures with a view to ensuring a correct application of Community procurement legislation.
Colleagues in various departments of the Commission have looked at the report covering areas such as environmental policy, justice and home affairs, consumer policy and regional policy. It would be wrong to raise expectations that, in these areas, the enforcement of Community law will offer the petitioners a solution to the problems they have encountered."@en1
