Regarding key court ruling in LitPol Link project
On May 29, 2013, the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania passed a final decision in the administrative case concerning the legitimacy of the environmental impact assessment (EIA) of LitPol Link’s 400 kV power line. There is no appeal against the decision.
The court ruled that a claim filed by the Rudaminos Bendruomenė association concerning the EIA was unfounded. The court stated that the EIA was legitimate and that the impact of the future power link on the environment and society has been properly and comprehensively assessed. The court said that environment impact assessment procedures have not been violated.
The court proceedings lasted for over 2 years.
