Granadilla Port Gets Go-Ahead, with conditions.
As we reported on Sunday, the European Commission, yesterday, cleared the way for the building of the industrial port at Granadilla in the south of Tenerife, which they consider should be built "for urgent reasons of public interest."
(It is still difficult to imagine what public this interests, when such a large number have clearly said they don't want the port to be built, mind you.)
Nevertheless, despite allowing the construction, Brussels admit, at the same time, that there are repercussions in various areas and protected species and are obliging the Spanish authorities to present annual reports on the project and to apply compensatory measures of protection of the flora and fauna in the area.
