The Cluj Court of Appeal has definitively canceled the environmental approval for the mining project from Rovina, and without it, the mining company Euro Sun Mining will not be able to start exploitation, informs the organization through a press release sent to Economica.net.
“The decision of the judges is not only a victory for Rovina, but a clear signal that the rights of local communities and the protection of the environment are a priority. The court decision marks a crucial moment in the fight for environmental protection in Romania,” said Roxana Pencea Brădățan, from Declic.
The project, which envisaged the exploitation of gold and copper in a vast area of Hunedoara County, raised serious concerns about its ecological and social impact among environmental protection organizations.
“The decision of the Cluj Court of Appeal represents a recognition of the constant efforts of the Declic Association and the Ecou Rovina Bucharest Association, which claimed that the environmental opinion was issued without an adequate assessment of the cross-border impact and without adequate consultations with local communities and neighboring states”, stated in the Declic press release quoted by economica.net.
