The plaintiff argued that the general administration did not take the necessary control and sanitation measures concerning the Valira river, resulting in abnormal high levels of solids and other substances in it, causing damages to the facilities of the societies.

However, considering the technical elements set out, the causes of the damages suffered by the plaintiffs are multiples and cannot be attributed solely to the work carried out in Andorra during the litigation period.

The Court consequently rejected the demand of the plaintiffs.
