Image description

View of the Berlaymont building October 23, wrapped up with a giant plastic sheat to protect citizens as 3,000 tonnes of asbestos are stripped from the 27-year-old symbol of the common European nation and carted off to a dump near Antwerp. The four-winged tower was the seat of the European Commission until its occupants abandoned it on the discovery of lethal asbestos in 1992. A European Commission spokesman said this week that the institution's hopes of returning to its former headquarters in the year 2000 have been dashed. Refurbishment of the building will now take considerably longer than scheduled, after a damning report by the French company Technip roundly criticised the current operation to strip asbestos out of the premises.
