On behalf of the United Left of Cantabria, on possible irregularities with regard to the granting of a prospecting licence for mining in Cantabria (Spain) 

Petition addressed to: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner calls for an investigation to be carried out into whether Cantabria’s regional government has acted in line with EU legislation in giving its approval for the Salia prospecting project. The petitioner alleges that the following directives have been breached: Directive 2011/92/EU on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment; Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora; Directive 2009/147/EC on the conservation of wild birds.
