RE: Adverse and large-scale environmental impacts of the Lynetteholm project
Thank you for kindly forwarding the answer from the Danish Minister of Transport.
I would however not agree with his justification, as Article 7, item 1 of the Helsinki Convention reads as
follows:
1. Whe ever a e viro e tal i pa t assess e t of a proposed a tivity that is likely to ause a sig ifi a t
adverse impact on the marine environment of the Baltic Sea Area is required by international law or supra-
national regulations applicable to the Contracting Party of origin, that
Contracting Party shall notify the
Commission and any Contracting Party which may be affected
by a transboundary impact on the Baltic
Sea Area.
As Denmark has informed Sweden about possible transboundary environmental impacts in line with Espoo
Convention, I assume that it should have also informed at least Helsinki Commission (HELCOM or
Co
issio , as referred a ove
in the Convention text), even if the Danish authorities did not consider the
transboundary impacts on other nations.
Yours kindly,
Mikhail Durkin
