Czech Republic opposes Poland’s Turow lignite expansion plan

摘要

Prague—The Czech Republic will oppose Polish plans to expand the Turow lignite mine close to the Polish-Czech border in the northeast of the country, Czech environment minister Richard Brabec said Tuesday. Brabec said a negative viewpoint on the project would be given by the November 16 deadline for consultations under the UN’s Espoo Convention, which sets out the framework for consultations on big projects with cross-border impact.
