Croatian environmental activist criticises study on environmental effects of rock wool plant

PULA, Sept 14 (Hina) - A member of the "Eko-Kvarner" environmental protection association, Vjeran Pirsic, told reporters in Pula on Thursday that a study on the environmental effects of a rock wool factory, to be built by the Danish company Rockwool in Pican, Istria, was a forgery and that the public debate on the investment had not been appropriately conducted.
PULA, Sept 14 (Hina) - A member of the "Eko-Kvarner" environmental protection association, Vjeran Pirsic, told reporters in Pula on Thursday that a study on the environmental effects of a rock wool factory, to be built by the Danish company Rockwool in Pican, Istria, was a forgery and that the public debate on the investment had not been appropriately conducted.

Pirsic claims that the study lacks an assessment of the effect of rock wool production on the environment, with the energy source being coke, which Pirsic said was unacceptable. The study also fails to mention 200 trucks that will transport coke to the plant daily, Pirsic added.

"The new plant, worth 75 million euros, is not only a local problem, but an environmental problem of the entire Istria and Kvarner regions," he said, adding that the authenticity of data submitted by the Danish company was uncertain and that this could be the basis for a proposal to establish if the issued documents were in line with the Croatian constitution.

Pirsic also noted that the study did not envisage a plant purifier, which he said county zoning plans envisaged as a precondition for the issuing of construction permits.

"Unfortunately, investments in Croatia have become a fetish, which is accompanied by the servility of state bodies to foreign investors," Pirsic said.
