"For more than two years, the European Parliament has received tens of thousands of petitions from European citizens, including many Dutch people, about the misuse of a law on urbanisation projects (LRAU) in the Valencia region. That law entitles project developers to take land from house owners illegitimately, with the latter receiving very little, or no, compensation, only to be expected to cough up again for the construction of roads, sewage and street lights. Fortunately, Parliament has addressed this problem and will, tomorrow, be voting on the report on it by the Liberal Member Mrs Fourtou. In so doing, it will be urging Valencia to improve the law – a process that was set in motion after a visit by a European inquiry committee – and to set up a procedure for assessing the situation of house owners on a case-by-case basis, including compensatory measures. I have, on previous occasions, spoken with Dutch people in the region and I am pleased that the urgency of the situation is finally being recognised. It is a good thing that Valencia has, at Europe’s request, started to review the law, but those words will now also need to be translated into action to prevent more owners from being treated unfairly."@en1
