What do Germans want from Poland? They threatened to sue

The portal informs that the authorities of the German state of Brandenburg are preparing a lawsuit to legally stop the construction of infrastructure on the Odra River on the Polish side, which the state’s Ministry of the Environment confirmed in comments to rbb24. The ministry spokesman confirmed the lawsuit against nature protection.

“In our opinion, the projected transboundary environmental impacts i. are not sufficiently accounted for the current state of the ecology of the Odra River” he explained.

The spokesman added that Environment Minister Axel Vogel (the Greens) informed the Brandenburg government of the move almost two weeks ago. The lawsuit will be submitted to the Administrative Court in Warsaw no later than November 16, added rbb24.

“It’s like this really about limiting competition [i możliwości] development of Polish infrastructure “- Deputy Minister Gróbarczyk judged in an interview with the portal PolskieRadio24.pl. As he explained,” for us, the launch of Odra in terms of navigation is complete the Central European Corridorwhich, based on the S3 road and the Nadodrzanka railway, is the best offer for the development of the Szczecin-Świnoujście port.”

Will the lawsuit affect the investment in the Odra River?

“So it’s no secret that Germany is doing a lot […]so the port of Szczecin-Świnoujście did not develop at such a pace “- stressed Gróbarczyk.

Deputy Minister Gróbarczyk explained that investment in improve flood protection on the Odra . River they are implemented under funding from the World Bank and European banks, so they are treated as a priority in terms of environmental protection and compliance with all standards. The second relates to the contract signed with the German side in 2015, when the government was led by Ewa Kopacz.

As Gróbarczyk notes, the filing of a complaint to court by the Brandenburg Ministry of the Environment has had little impact on the implementation of investments in the Odra River, as most of the work is due to be completed next year. “I do not assume that any obstacle can stop this process” – stressed the deputy head of infrastructure.
