Nach Auffassung der Kommission wird die Schlackenhalde von NMH genutzt, so daß die Finanzierung der Maßnahmen durch die öffentliche Hand nicht mit dem Verursacherprinzip vereinbar ist.

An additional drawback of direct surveys of 'ordinary' households is the imperfect picture which they provide of the situation of those who are at the 'bottom of the heap'.
Ein weiterer Nachteil der direkten Umfragen bei sogenannten „normalen" Haushalten geht auf die unzureichenden Kenntnisse der von den Statistikern „Verteilungsschwanz" genannten Erscheinung zurück.

Alle drängten sich um ihn her, als er aber plötzlich aufsprang und mit wildem Blicke rief: »Was wollt ihr?« - da fuhren sie in einer Reihe, Herrn Elias in der Mitte, zur Tür hinaus.
