EUROPE-DEVELOPMENT Mapping Out the EU’s Harmful Projects
08/02/2012 4:18 pm
Dozens of European Union-funded projects across several countries are ‘environmentally or socially unsound’, according to a map created by a joint effort between CEE Bankwatch Network and Friends of the Earth Europe.
Released Feb. 2, the map counted 33 ventures backed by the EU's cohesion policy funds - either projects already funded or under consideration for funding - totalling 16 billion euros.
The map highlighted projects in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Macedonia, Poland and Slovakia, which have been found to be particularly damaging to local biodiversity, to the future possibility of sustainable efforts and to human communities.
