It seems that the Commission is waiting for information from the Portuguese authorities. I should like the Commissioner to tell me precisely what action the Commission will take if it is not satisfied with developments in Portugal? What investigation will it take and what procedures will it follow in order to ensure the proper implementation of the European regulations in this matter? This is an area of grave concern, certainly to my constituents who have written many letters to me on this matter. We need to know what practical measures the Commission is taking rather than sitting back waiting for the Portuguese authorities to provide information.
