"My vote with regard to the Krahmer and Corbey reports was in favour of higher levels for the quality of air and for stricter controls in this area. The main motive for my decision is the way Maltese and Gozitan citizens are at present being treated by the country’s authorities. We are in a situation where not only are European standards not being respected, but people are not even being given the information they have a right to if they are to protect their health and the environment. A concrete example of this was the fact that it was only after an intervention on my part that the authorities publicly admitted that European directives regarding emissions from the country’s power-stations were being breached. Moreover, we have reached the stage where the equipment which gauges pollution from the Marsa and Delimara power stations has not been functional for months after it was reportedly hit by lightning. The Maltese daily
yesterday revealed that we are still not taking adequate measures, given that the new apparatus has not been purchased yet. This is not acceptable and it is incumbent on the responsible authorities and the European Commission to follow this breach more closely."@en1
