The MEP of Pasquale Tridico, president of the subcommittee for tax issues, presented a question to the European Commission in relation to the delays that are recorded in Calabria for the interventions for the adaptation of the purification plant and sewage networks service of 29 Municipalities that are part of the Crati Valle Consortium. Due to this situation, Italy has been subjected to an infringement procedure with consequent conviction for non -compliance with the European directive on the treatment of urban waste water, including the area of Cosenza – Rende.
“It is paradoxical – says Tridico – that in the face of a loan of 35 million euros, of which 24.5 million public and 10.5 private individuals, approved by Cipe in 2012, and despite the completion of the tender, has not yet been activated the project financing functional to the construction of the works necessary to put an end to the serious conditions of the purifying system in the entire area concerned”.
“This serious and incomprehensible delay – adds the chief delegation of the M5S to the European Parliament – generates semester sanctions estimated at 30 million euros and makes the employment situation of the purification staff even more problematic, as repeatedly reported by the unions”.
In the tridic question, also urges the intervention of the European Commission to activate the tools at his disposal to supervise the use of public resources.
