Causa lithium mining Carinthia - negotiations at the Federal Administrative Court reveals notification defects

Authority shines through absence

Vienna (OTS) -

As the UVP-experienced environmental organization Virus announced, yesterday's court hearing at the Federal Administrative Court to Causa Lithium mining Carinthia still ended after eight hours without an end result. Spokesman Wolfgang Rehm "It is clear that the Carinthian state government, which was shiny by absence, has in any case deficient determined that the court was simply confirmed that the court was simply confirmed with the decision with which a UVP obligation was simply confirmed".

As a result, there will either be a cancellation of the decision, including a determination of the obligation to carry out environmental compatibility or a referral to the authority. The third alternative would remain that the Federal Administrative Court itself will continue to determine and carry out a so -called individual case examination, taking into account the accumulation with other projects. In this case there will be another court hearing. As Virus emphasizes, the project to reduce lithium at the Styrian state border in Carinthia, so far, have so far been noticed by highly trotting and obviously unsustainable announcements of the operators that are no longer noted on the Viennese stock exchange and at that time also understood from the financial market supervision. On the long -forgotten political mismanagement for the sale of the republic for a symbolic amount for a symbolic amount would later have joined the project for the project through the hapless former mining minister Köstinger. Desired ideas regarding many jobs would easily cloud the judgment if the known relocation of the further processing of the Lavanttal to Saudi Arabia would have dissolved in air. "Over recent times, the operators have noticed with advertising messages that claim the existence of a fully licensed mine. As our complaint procedure alone shows, this can obviously not be correct," concludes Rehm.
