European Parliament
Papadimoulis (GUE/NGL ).

Commissioner, I noted with interest that, in your initial response, you noted, despite the steps that have been taken, that there is no adequate legal basis for doing more. I therefore specifically ask you: for the last two and a half years, the European Parliament Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety has been asking for a directive from the Commission in application of Article 152 of the founding Treaty. Does the Commission intend, albeit two and a half years later, to promote such a Community directive?
