European Parliament 30 March 2001, WRITTEN QUESTION E-0985/01 by Paul Lannoye (Verts/ALE) to the Commission. Dioxin and furane emissions from ore sintering plants.

The Commission would like to stress that this promotion campaign is under indirect management, which means that the designated competent body (in this case the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture) in normally responsible for checking the promotion programme. However, the Commission retains a monitoring role, which enabled it to take the action referred to above.
