EIA rules

May 14, 2008

A third of transport projects in Poland are breaking EU rules, according to a government spokesman.

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.
