"Madam President, 100 million anti-personnel mines are buried in the ground throughout the world, and 70% of the victims are typically civilians. Thus, the Ottawa Convention was a step in the right direction. However, in the EU we should also take a look at our Member States. For example, 66 years after the Second World War there are around 700 undetonated bombs in the ground in my home town of Linz. The search and recovery result in costs in the region of EUR 200 000 that have to be paid by the landowners. The way that my question to the Commission of 13 January 2011 in this regard was dealt with was more than a little non-committal, with reference being made to framework directives for guarding against dangers at work and for protection at work as well as for the removal of shipwrecks and bridge rubble. If this was a school assignment, I would say that it had completely missed the point. Thus, we unfortunately have to conclude that there is quite clearly a lack of awareness in the EU of the problem with regard to the removal of relics of the Second World War from central European cities."@en1
