2697 PEOPLE SIGN EUROPEAN PETITION VEÏNS DE PARCENT
PHOTOGRAPHIC IMPRESSION OF THE
CONSEQUENCES OF THE LARGEST
PAI AT 'EL REPLA' PARCENT
'Veïns de Parcent' have presented their
petition to the European Union.
The petition,
supported by 2697 signatures makes the case
that Parcent Town Hall violated the Treaty
of the European Community by passing the
three PAIs at the council meeting of 30th
January 2006 using the LRAU law, 2 day
before the implementation of the new law
LUV.
LRAU had been discredited by the European
Parliament in its Fourtou Report published
15th December 2005 in which it was
specifically recommended that no new
PAIs be approved before the implementation
of the new law LUV.The Valencian Governemnt
was already in receipt of infringment proceedings
regarding the LRAU initaiated by the European
Parliament for non fulfillment of various
directives. In addition Parcent Town Hall
was also advised not to proceed by the Valencia
college of Lawyers and Architects and by
the its own Secretary.
'Veïns of Parcent' believe that Parcent Town
Hall deliberately rushed through the building
plans on the penultimate day of LRAU in
the knowledge that the new law LUV would
make acceptance of those plans much more
difficult and thus have breached European law.
We are advised that we have a good case,
especially as the Valencian Government is
under pressure from the European Union
not only over LRAU but also as LUV still
fails to meet European standards in the
area of public procurement.
The petition will be supported by EuroMP
for the Green Party David Hammerstein
and we are currently contacting other
Spanish and European MEPs to ask for
their support. If anyone has contact with
their English MEP please forward me their
details (via contact link below blog; click and
follow instrutions) and I will send them a
copy of our petition. MORE
