"Question no 49 by Carl Schlyter () The people of the Black Mesa the Dineh and Hopi indians have fought against coal mining on their territory, and all that it entails, for more than 30 years. At the beginning of this year, the coal mine and pipeline which use the indians' only water reservoir were closed down. Unfortunately, the joy was short-lived. There are now plans for a re-opening and an expansion with the ensuing forced displacement of the population. Black Mesa Mountain is sacred to these people and the operation would be akin to a company quarrying stone from Notre Dame in Paris (the mountain is considered to be a woman). Is breaking up the sacred symbols of a religion not a violation of religious freedom? Does the Commission intend to ban imports of raw materials extracted in contravention of international law and, further thereto, also introduce a ban on imports of the products of the companies involved if they go ahead with an expansion of mining operations?"@en1
