Finally, on 28 February 1997 the San Cesareo local authority sent a statement in the form of a letter to the consortium IRICAV UNO, which is carrying out the work, the Prefect of Rome, the Region of Lazio and the Province of Rome, outlining the problem. In view of all this, can the Commission say: 1. whether it does not consider it necessary to ascertain, in this critical situation, compliance with Directive 85/337/EEC (1), in particular as regards the involvement of the various levels of local government in the environmental impact assessment procedures; 2. whether, if an infringement is ascertained, the work may be suspended if it has already begun, or whether at least the whole procedure may be reviewed, in order to bring it into line with European legislation?

What effects might such measures have on current construction plans? 3. What steps will the Commission take if the Italian authorities ignore those measures?
