Brad Smith Statement Quotations

We believe today's statement of objections is unjustified. The Commission has issued this statement regarding technical documentation we submitted last week, even though by its own admission it ... has not even read or reviewed these new documents.

We revised the technical documents last week at the Commission's request, responding to new feedback raised with us only six days before. The Commission has issued this statement regarding technical documentation we submitted last week, even though by its own admission neither it nor the (mediator in the case) has even read or reviewed these new documents.

We will contest today's statement to the full extent permitted under EU law, including a full oral hearing on these issues.
