proportion of substandard work has fallen and that Greece has taken the necessary measures to remedy it?
If not, will the Commission say what steps it will take to ensure that this tremendously important issue is
now dealt with seriously and that those responsible are held to account?

Subject: Report on quality control of 2nd CSF projects

(28 October 1999)

On 13 October 1998, in reply to my question No E-2176/98 (1), the then Commissioner, Mrs Wulf-
Mathies, said that the first ESPEL quarterly report had found that quality problems did exist in various
projects and that ESPEL would proceed to carry out systematic and in-depth checks on 2nd CSF projects.

In the light of the large number of accidents on Greek motorways caused by substandard work and
inadequate checking systems, will the Commission say what the results of ESPEL(cid:146)s checks are to date? In
which specific projects have substandard work or shortcomings been identified? Have those been rectified
by the contractors and at whose expense? What financial, disciplinary, penal or other administrative
consequences (e.g. blacklisting) will be imposed on those responsible for the failings and substandard
work?
