It’s March 9th 2008 and…

Purchase of Hanson by HeidelbergCement successfully completed

cleanairbedford — Sat, 08 Sep 2007 20:24:58 +0000

German Heidelberg Cement completed the acquisition
of the British building materials manufacturer Hanson Plc.

…
Hanson Plc is owner of the Hanson Building Products Limited
and subsequently the Stewartby Brickworks. For full info: click here

Now, assuming possible fine for Britain by the
European Court of Justice over the SO2 emission limits
breach near Stewartby Brickworks I come to think…

The private German company extends its global operations
merging with another private company, Hanson
European Court of Justice gives UK as a country a penalty
Finally we, the UK taxpayers would pay that bill,
even though here in Bedford we are technically the victims

There must be something I’ve missed about the European Justice…
It is a bit confusing and no wonder that some people campaign against the EU…

Although impressive, with good layout and nice navigation,
usually helpful Bedford Borough Council website this time

Its pollution section:

provides with two PDF links and list of allegedly
related pages, such us:

OK, let’s try general environment section now…

and their reply will be blogged.
