The Committee on Petitions of the European Parliament has been working intensively on several petitions (0760/2007, 2207/2013, 1107/2011 and 0024/2012) on the ILVA steel plant, ENI refinery and new gas pipeline located in the Taranto region of Southern Italy. The area is suffering from considerable, long-standing social problems related to unemployment and from the consequences of the non-compliance with the European environmental and health legislation. The July 2017 updating of this Briefing (first published in October 2016) provides information for the Members of the PETI Fact Finding Delegation, that would take place from 17 to 19 July 2017, in Taranto. The mission would include time on the ground at the sites, as well as dialogues with local authorities, civil society representatives, trade unions and industry. |
