Hello,
It is preferable to file a complaint through a European environmental NGO such as the European Environment Bureau (EEB). Ecologistas en Acción and other Spanish NGOs are members of EEB.
EEB then sends the complaint to the European Commission's Directorate-General for the Environment, which is the competent authority in case of infringement of European environmental legislation (application of European directives and regulations).
