Adv. Mr. A. Amorai: But that's not the question. The question is, are you standing here before our honorable judge, Doron Chasdai, and are you prevented from saying anything about that report because you are a signatory to it? I'm asking you.
The witness, Prof. Gad Rennert: No, unequivocally not. And my demand from Bazan in the original, unequivocal, is that the report be written by me in my own words, published in its entirety, and thus transferred to the government ministries.
According to him , "...This report is a public domain ...Of course it is. It was, I insisted that it be a public domain....There is one and only report that I wrote, which I submitted, that was a public domain and I insisted that it was a public domain. There is no other report" (pages 1838-1839).
Later on, regarding the survey conducted by the expert, the expert emphasized: "... I wrote one single report, it was submitted to the three government ministries in advance coordination and with the obligation in advance that I committed myself to, and this is the only product I know. I have no idea which Bazan report was submitted to the Planning and Building Committee. Me, the only thing I dealt with was writing a summary report on three years of research" (page 1840).
Regarding the aforementioned survey, which he took part in the preparation, the expert testified, among other things:
It's very simple. THE MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT PROPOSED, DEMANDED AN OPINION OR A MEMORANDUM FROM BAZAN, WHATEVER IT'S CALLED AND THE MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT THEY ASKED FOR. Bazan asked the Ministry of the Environment for assistance in finding the right person to carry out this survey and the Ministry of the Environment gave my name, I saw this document at the time, it exists historically, certainly in the world somewhere, and then the Ministry of the Environment consulted with the Ministry of Health. The Ministry of the Interior is less important because it didn't know me, the Ministry of Health did know me and they both ended by saying yes to Bazan and then Bazan was chosen by the developer. Bazan, I had no contact with them. They didn't know me, they didn't hear about me before
