Baroness Williams of Crosby

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When the work of clearing bridge debris blocking the Danube at Novi Sad is expected to begin; and when navigation is expected to resume. [HL3105]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal

The European Commission have requested that urgency procedures be used throughout the EU legislative process in order to allow clearance work to begin before the end of summer 2000. The target date for the opening of a fully navigable channel at Novi Sad is spring 2001.
