ISTRIA COUNTY TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST MINISTRY OF URBAN DEVEL

DEVEL $ OPMENT PULA, Oct 25 (Hina) - The leadership of the Istria County on Friday decided to initiate an administrative lawsuit against the Ministry of Urban Development for issuing building permits for infrastructure facilities for receiving and transport of coal to the thermo-electric power plant "Plomin". The Istria County had asked the Ministry to participate in the process of issuing building permits for construction in the area around Plomin thermo-electric power plants, but the Ministry made no response. The Istria County asked that the procedure of issuing the building permits be repeated. Speaking about the issue, prefect Luciano Delbianco said that it would be desirable if the town of Labin initiated a similar administrative lawsuit, adding that it was important that all this had been initiated before the Croatian Electric Supply Industry (HEP) signed an agreement on continuing the construction of the thermo-electric plant Plomin 2.
