"Mr President, on 5 May last year the European Parliament voted by an overwhelming majority to ban cyanide mining technologies throughout European Union territory. The European Commission has so far failed to do so and has dragged its heels over taking steps to comply with the European Parliament’s demands in this regard. Meanwhile, in Romania there is political pressure to force through a mining project that smacks of corruption and risks bringing about an environmental and natural catastrophe. The nuclear accident at Fukushima is a cautionary example of why we should not play with fire. I call on my fellow Members from Romania and Hungary to join forces to protect the environment in the Carpathian Basin that we share. Mr President, I ask for your assistance in prevailing upon the European Commission to give effect to Parliament’s ban on cyanide mining and to pursue the case of the Romanian mining project at Roşia Montană/Verespatak."@en1
