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 ESPELís 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?
