DECEMBER 2005 – Preliminary proceedings of the Catalan police force ('Mossos d'Esquadra') by request of the District Attorney of the Environment

On November 20th, 2004, the Catalan TV channel 'TV3' informed that the District Attorney of the Environment had instituted proceedings on its own initiative to investigate whether AENA was committing a constant noise pollution crime against public health. News published in the press on this topic

A year later, the police has finished the preliminary proceedings and the conclusions are overwhelming:
 
It is proved that AENA is responsible for a crime against natural resources and the environment, a crime which is defined in article 325 of the penal code, with a presumed violation of the following rights: the right to enjoy an adequate environment for the development of the people, the right to the protection of health, the right to intimacy and the right to well being and to a quality life for the citizens of Gavà Mar.

Conclusions of the police proceedings

Examples of documents that justify these persuasive conclusions:

- Pictures of planes approaching before landing on the third runway.

The Environmental Impact Report ('EIA') was supposed to be transcribed in the Environmental Impact Declaration ('DIA') but AENA removed the last 31 pages of the 97-page report. This last part clearly warned about the consequences the construction of the third runway would have for Gavà Mar.
