EIA rules

May 14, 2008

Poland’s environment minister Maciej Nowicki last month warned his government that it must adopt EU environmental impact rules or risk losing European funding for major infrastructure projects. The Commission has already taken legal action against Poland over breaches of EU law involving the proposed Augustow bypass through the environmentally sensitive Rospuda wetlands.
