After it has been announced that Dr George Papadakis, a SEVESO Directive expert, has been commissioned by the Occupational Health and Safety Authority (OHSA) to examine the risks resulting from the operation of the proposed Delimara gas-fired power station, Alternattiva Demokratika said that its Deputy Chairperson Carmel Cacopardo, has been in contact with the CEO of the OHSA in order to request a copy of the said report. The CEO has requested that a written request be submitted.

AD, said Carmel Cacopardo, “deplores that the report has so far been withheld and that selective extracts from it are being leaked. It is imperative that the whole report is published immediately. Carmel Cacopardo has submitted the said written request in terms of the Seveso Directive.”

Alternattiva Demokratika Chairperson, Prof. Arnold Cassola, asked, “why all this secrecy? The Maltese and Gozitan people have a right to be given all the information about the proposed Delimara plant because the safety of people is a top priority.”
