Environmental reciprocity in danger: 10,000 citizens are protested!
A new draft law in Styria ensures alarm moods among environmentalists: The Styrian Renewable Expansion Acceleration Act (SteaBG), which is intended to simplify the approval procedures for renewable energies, is regarded as a dangerous attack on environmental and nature conservation law. According to Naturfreunde Austria, this means an abrupt loss of the environmental recruitment law in front of the Administrative Court, which endangers fundamental rights in the rule of law. Jürgen Dumpelnik, Chairman of Naturfreunde Styria, explains: "The abolishing or restricting this right is potentially adverse consequences for everyone. Decisions that harm our environment are usually irreversible." According to OTS could not only restrict this legislative amendment, but also the legal protection of nature weaken considerably.
In addition, nature lovers criticize the drastic shortening of the deadlines for statements from six to two weeks, which makes it difficult to react to notices in good time. The federal manager of Naturfreunde Austria, Günter Abraham, demands that the amendment to the law critically ask because it endangers the protection of the environment in favor of hasty implementation. These concerns are reflected in a petition that has signed over 10,000 citizens to prevent the disempowerment of environmental for environmental administration in Upper Austria. This petition is directed directly against the planned restriction of the rights of environmental administration in nature conservation proceedings, as reported by
The signatories of the petition is incomprehensible why the environmental administrative, which represents a reliable protection for nature and the environment, is to be weakened by the current amendment to the law. The Executive Board of Environmental Administration in Austria and numerous NGOs criticize this development as legally and professionally and warn of the far -reaching negative consequences of nature conservation law. While the legal situation is changing in Styria, there are only limited positive adjustments in the Upper Austrian Nature Conservation Act. The changes that are discussed in the context of parliamentary consultations now offer an opportunity to maintain nature's interests and to strengthen environmental protection. danger to nature
