The European Commission is taking legal action against Poland in two cases of infringement of EU nature protection law. Both cases concern the EU-wide network of important protected wildlife sites and natural areas, Natura 2000. Poland will receive a first written warning for going ahead with eight road projects which encroach upon designated or potential Natura 2000 areas. These projects are linked to the Via Baltica Helsinki-Warsaw road corridor in the North-East part of the country, and include the Augustow bypass. In addition, Poland will be given a final written warning for failing to propose a sufficient number of sites and areas for Natura 2000. |
