Hallo,
ich habe meine Meinung bzw. Erkenntnisse nochmal für die EU-Kommission zusammengefasst - in der Hoffnung, dass von dort noch mal draufgeguckt wird (sorry - in my own homemade english-Gestammel *gg*):

Dear Madam and Sir,
as you can see here:

Volkswagen and Lower Saxony (part of FRG) are a wonderful team. Sorry - the paper is in german language - but it shows the denpendencies between politics and VW in an awesome case. At its end the prime minister of Lower Saxony is member of the supervisory board of Volkswagen.
Now to the intention of this mail with issues like unfair competion and nature aspects - by pulling a runway and RESA through an EU Reservation of Nature - by deforesting it - in the obvious interest of Volkswagen.
On the top of that: How to build a longer runway with public money - which is really usefull for and extensively used by Volkswagen? You should call it "Forschungsflughafen". Than (being necessary for science) it's from higher interest and so you can deforest an EU Reservation of Nature with special factors for protection of species.
First they really tried to get EU-Money for this stunt. Pls see here:
data.querumer-forst.de/action/eu-kommission/2011-03_grant_eu.pdf
After they learned "by demonstrants" and not at least
www.querumer-forst.de
(which is my related website) that this is not legal - and that the experiment is quiet stupid according to the discussion about our "VW-Gesetz" because of the obvious VW-interests at the airport - they changed to "GA-Mittel" (which is national and not EU-money). This allowed them to decide without your (EU) influence.
As I and others told them that GA is also not appropriate they changed to "GRW-Mittel" - but this is just a subordinated issue.
Our BMWi fixed that in the case of changing the project to make the costs GRW - eligible, - Volkswagen should not be involved financially at all to the complete procect.
Therefor they found a simple solution: VW left the "Flughafengesellschaft" as a shareholder. I think they noticed that public subventions for a clear VW-interest is curious and (as I appraised at
www.querumer-forst.de
) not legal.
So VW left the "Flughafengesellschaft" - as you can read in our "Newsclick":
www.newsclick.de/index.jsp/menuid/2048/artid/12763851
Reason from VW's point of view according to this newsclick: "mission accomplished" What was the mission? The longer runway? I'm sure about that!
So GRW-subventions where submitted and obviously approved by NBank (Lower Saxony - subvention bank). After that 1.Stadtrat Mr. Lehmann said in Newsclick: public subvention is fixed:
www.newsclick.de/index.jsp/menuid/2048/artid/12853038
But VW is paying for the airports costs still now (building is completed meanwhile), and as you can read here, they discuss at the moment, that the public subventions are NOT to be paied up to actual new findings (new? I said that from 2008 on):
www.newsclick.de/index.jsp/menuid/2048/artid/15460430
To improve the fact that Volkswagen is still involvee now hear what the same Mr. Lehmann (1. Stadtrat, Braunschweig) saied in a public discussion (regard at 1:44:00 and following):
data.querumer-forst.de/dateien/OBSprechstunde_13-01-12.mp3
I got it anonymous - but verified it by asking people who where there.
cut -- and an other idea:
Meanwhile it is an official estimation that there may be no eligible costs because of missing higher, eligible interests - may be for parts or for the whole building. Missing these interests I think the plan to deforest an EU Reservation of Nature was illegal - and it was realized in the interest of Volkswagen.
What we think at
www.querumer-forst.de
about building a longer runway for Braunschweig Airport is the following:
a) It's not to be subvented with public money (no eligible costs).
b) It's not eligible because of missing higher interests (Science).
b) It's completely illegal because of this missing of higher interests.
So the most serious issue is that the allowance to deforest the area (which was an EU Reservation of Nature) is illegal because of the same reasons which make the costs for the longer runway uneligible.
The central reason why the region needs a longer runway: Freight and personel traffic of Volkswagen. The "Science Airport" (in GER: Forschungsflughafen) is just a fake to make the deforesting lisensable.
As VW said in above linked Newsclick: "mission completed" ...
That's what I'm sure about - mostly (and that's my last new issue) because they based all their arguments at german courts on the needs of an airplane (Airbus 320) which just did not exist at DLR e.V. when the official planning proceeded.
What I ask you for:
Please give them a benchmark for compliance and force them to recultivate this EU Reservation of Nature - just as a memorial for democracy.
Please investigate the complete way of decision making in this case and isolate politics from private economy. Be successful with your legal dispute about our "VW-Gesetz".
Thank you for your time and attention.
kind regards

Wenn es denn wirklich intelligent gemacht wäre, würde es niemand bemerken. Wenn es aber nur 10 Prozent, die intelligent genug sind, bemerken und drauf hinweisen, dann ist man schon zu 80 % enttarnt.
