"Mr President, two years ago, Parliament adopted with an overwhelming majority the resolution on a general ban on the use of cyanide mining technologies. Yet the European Commission, showing complete disregard for the fundamental European rule of representative democracy and referring to the national competences of the Member States, is unable to impose a ban on the use of cyanide in mining, and in Romania the authorisation of the Roșia Montană mining investment is proceeding unhindered despite all protests.
On the anniversary of the Tisza river cyanide disaster of 30 January 2000, as one of the rapporteurs of the resolution I call on President Martin Schulz to intercede on behalf of Parliament with the Commission and Romania to give effect to the resolution we adopted two years ago. If this plan of gigantic proportions were to be realised the Roșia Montană reservoir, which is forty times the size of the Baia Mare slurry reservoir, would represent a virtual ecological atomic bomb."@en1
