E. whereas 10 years ago more than 100 000 cubic meters of cyanide-tainted water had been released from a gold mine reservoir in Baia Mare (Romania) into the Somes-Tisza-Danube river system and caused the largest ecological disaster of central Europe at that time; whereas toxic materials killed many organisms damaging the ecological system, food chain and essential human use of the river for many years; whereas 100% of planktons, 82% of fish and 50-60% of aquatic invertebrates were reported to have been killed on the most contaminated section of the Tisza River,

E. whereas 10 years ago more than 100 000 cubic meters of cyanide-tainted water was released from a gold mine reservoir in Baia Mare (Romania) into the Somes-Tisza-Danube river system and caused the largest ecological disaster of Central Europe at that time.

E. whereas in the past 25 years more than 30 major accidents involving cyanide spills have occurred worldwide, especially 10 years ago, when more than 100 000 cubic meters of cyanide-tainted water was released from a gold mine reservoir into the Tisza-Danube river system and caused the largest ecological disaster of Central Europe at that time, and there is no real guarantee that these accidents will not occur again, especially taking into account the escalating extreme weather conditions, inter alia heavy and fre ...[+++]quent precipitation events, as projected by the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,

However, a 1995 study(20) financed by the Phare programme on border-crossing bottlenecks had already established the urgent need for assistance at the two border crossings on the CEEC-NIS border which had the longest average waiting times in the whole of central and Eastern Europe: Zahony-Chop (Hungary-Ukraine; 28 hours) and Kukuryki-Kozlovitchi(21) (Poland-Belarus; 24 hours, rising on occasions to five days).

E. whereas over the past 25 years more than 30 major accidents involving cyanide spills have occurred worldwide, the worst taking place 10 years ago, when more than 100 000 cubic meters of cyanide-contaminated water were released from a gold-mine reservoir into the Tisza-Danube River system and caused the largest ecological disaster in the history of central Europe at that time, and whereas there is no real guarantee that such accidents will not occur again, especially taking into account the increasing incidence ...[+++]of extreme weather conditions, inter alia heavy and frequent precipitation events, as projected by the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,
