The European Commission answered the question by Willy Meyer, MEP from the United Left, saying that "the decision of the regional authorities of Madrid, putting indirectly questioned the existence of a breach of EU rules on environment by bringing an action before national courts and its decision to continue the work under way in the section 2 of the M-501 are inconsistent with the proposal to those authorities which formed the basis for not resorting temporarily to the Court of the European Communities. "In the letter, the Commission emphatically asserts that" in these circumstances, the Committee decided at its meeting on June 26, 2008 to proceed without delay before this court. "

For Willy Meyer, "this clear and forceful response by the European Commission, makes clear that the attempt of the Popular Party, staged for two weeks in the Petitions Committee, to curb the application of Community rules on the environment, has fallen on deaf ears. The response of the European Commission is a resounding rejection to the claims of the PP. "
