This conflicts with the provisions of the Water Framework Directive (Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000), transposed into Portuguese law by Law No 58/2005 of 29 December 2005.Despite attempts by the Portuguese authorities to control pollution into the Vizela River, the discharges continue. The water has now been polluted for years, with local residents continuing to live alongside it. This situation is unacceptable and needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency, as it is incomprehensible that a river can continue to be exposed to these levels of pollution.In the light of the above, what action will the Commission take to urge Portugal to ensure that the Water Framework Directive is enforced in order to protect the Vizela River?

Governance and government

In several countries there are calls for an examination of the options for leaving the European Union, as a result of dissatisfaction with the way it operates. Article50 states that the European Council shall propose guidelines for the conclusion of an agreement setting out the arrangements for withdrawal of a Member State. I should like to know what such an agreement might entail. In addition, Ishould also like to know what procedures are applicable (internal and external) if a Member State announces a withdrawal procedure as a result of a decision by its competent authorities.

In the conclusions of the 2937th Agriculture and Fisheries Council meeting of 23 April 2009, it is mentioned that the Council: supports an approach to implement elements of the European Community Action Plan for the Conservation and Management of Sharks without delay; encourages the Commission to pay special attention to finning, reducing bycatches and discard; and invites the Commission to present to the Council, as quickly as possible, a more detailed timetable for the various actions set out in the Action Plan, to keep the Council informed annually on progress in relation to this Action Plan, and to present a first report on its implementation in good time before the FAO COFI meeting in 2011. So far, I am not aware that this commitment has been fufilled. I therefore take this opportunity to ask the Council to provide the following: 1. a detailed timetable of actions; 2. annual progress updates; 3. a first implementation report.

Following a request from the United Kingdom, the Commission has banned the pelagic trawling of sea bass in the English Channel, the Irish Sea and the North Sea until the end of April. This ban is unfair and ineffective: pelagic trawling accounts for only 25% of catches, whereas the remaining 75% — not affected by the ban — consists of recreational and other types of fishing (line fishing, bottom trawling, net fishing,etc.). The disappearance of stocks cannot be counteracted seriously by a discriminatory measure that affects only 25% of catches. In the short term, in order to protect sea bass in this region, does the Commission intend to extend the temporary ban to all types of fishing? In the long term, does the Commission intend to introduce sea bass fishing quotas and a multi-annual management plan, as requested by the fishers?

Energy

Previous EU research and development programmes have specifically mentioned geothermal energy, but the upcoming programme does not. Although the European Parliament adopted an amendment to rectify this omission and include geothermal energy under the renewable energy section in Annex II(a)(v), the Commission did not accept the amendment, and the Council has not included it either. Will the Commission confirm that, despite this omission, this will not jeopardise future funding in this area and that projects relating to geothermal energy will continue to receive their entitled share of funding, in particular as MrsCresson has stated that the EU's objective is to increase the percentage of renewable energy use from 6-12 %?
