Press Release: Green fears over Polish plans to divert future EU billions for the environment into massive road building

Having seen Poland's draft National Development Plan (NDP) for the 2007-2013 EU funding period, environmental NGOs are concerned about the Government's plans to spend what they regard as a disproportionately high share of future EU aid on road-building. The NGOs feel the Polish plans would jeopardise the country's ability to meet EU environmental standards within its agreed transition period and are calling on the Polish Government to redraft the document.
