But environmental lawyer Isabelle Larmuseau raises an eyebrow at that legal demarche. “The Flemish PFOS Commission of Inquiry is investigating the many system errors in our Flemish environmental policy: the illegal permit granted to 3M with illegal standards, inadequate enforcement, the fact that people had known about the contamination for a long time and did not act, the fact that Oosterweel was just will be in the place where we have the largest pollution in the world in terms of PFAS, … The notice of default from the minister may well create the unpleasant feeling that the intention is to divert attention from the system errors that are now being investigated. I hope that isn’t the case.”
