"The European Parliament has adopted a resolution in favour of a general ban on the use of cyanide mining technologies by the end of 2011. The environmental consequences of cyanide pollution are transnational, and therefore this ban must apply at European level. For example, in January 2000, more than 100 000 cubic metres of cyanide-contaminated water escaped from a gold mine in Romania and polluted the rivers and streams of Romania, Hungary, Serbia and Bulgaria. We hope that the Member States will stop supporting mining projects using cyanide-based technologies. At the same time, the Commission will have to encourage the industrial redevelopment of these areas with financial support for green substitute industries, renewable energies and tourism."@en1
