(S) KAUNAS REGIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE COURT J U D G E M E N T ON BEHALF OF THE REPUBLIC OF LITHUANIA 5 July 2012 Kaunas the Panel of Judges of the Kaunas Regional Administrative Court consisting of Judges Janina Vitunskienė (Chairman and Rapporteur), Daina Kukalienė and Jolanta Medvedevienė, Secretary Anželika Kuicaitė, in the presence of the representatives of the Claimant, the association Rudaminos Bendruomenė, namely, Chair R.

In its application (case file p. 5–6), the Claimant indicated that it disagrees with the part of the Decision which allows designing the construction and operation of a 400 kV overhead power transmission line (hereinafter – the “EEPOL” or the “Line”) in the B1 section of the subalternative specified in the Decision and on the website of the company LitPol Link (www.litpol.lt), which provides for the construction and operation of the EEPOL between the Žuvintas Biosphere Reserve and the Lithuanian– Polish border beside the lake Galadusys. The Claimant indicated that it is the public concerned, the stakeholder in the EIA process, whose participation in the EIA process is guaranteed by both national and international legislation. The route for the design of the planned EEPOL chosen under Subalternative B1 passes the territory of Rudamina, Karužai, Skaistučiai and Neravai villages where the members of the association Rudaminos Bendruomenė reside and/or have their properties. According to the Claimant, the Defendant unreasonably failed to consider the Line alternative proposed by it. In the given case, the most appropriate method of construction of a power transmission line is a direct-current underground cable by combining it with the existing infrastructures, without uglifying the landscape and other components of the environment. The application of the underground line building technology is more appropriate not only from a technological point of view but first of all in ecological, recreational, cultural heritage-related and all other respects, particularly, in the aspect of landscape protection. By failing to take into account the proposal of the public and permitting by the Decision to build the Line in the picturesque area of the Lazdijai district, the principle of rational infrastructure layout was totally ignored. In the Claimant’s opinion, under its proposed alternative the route in the section Alytus-Šeštokai could be totally aligned with the existing 110 kV EEPOL and in the section from the Šeštokai eldership to the electrical substation located in the village of Oleandrai it would further run along the railway line, through the Šeštokai- Mockava industrial area, which is already provided in the Master Plan of the Lazdijai District Municipality, and through the infrastructure corridor to the Republic of Poland planned in the solutions set out in the Master Plan of the Kalvarija Municipality (hereinafter also referred to as the “MP”) (2007). The proposed route would run through the areas intended for the construction of utility engineering networks and entities and development of engineering communications and the territory of the Lazdijai District Municipality would not be uglified by another construction works of a cumbersome height and width emitting pollutants into the surrounding environment. Besides, this alternative would allow shortening the Lithuanian-Polish power link Alytus-Elk by approx. 8 km, and this means that under the forecasted prices per km it would help Lithuania save at least EUR 3.2 million. It was indicated that the Aarhus Convention was violated because it as the public concerned was not properly informed about this project in the earliest stage of its development. During the entire EIA process, the public was not properly informed about the Strategic Environmental Assessment, the approval of the EIA programme, the EIA report or the adopted EIA Decision. The Claimant stated that the announcement published in the 16th issue of the newspaper Lazdijų Žvaigždė of 16 April 2012 referred to a 400 kW overhead power line rather than to a 400 kV overhead power line; therefore, the public concerned was misled and due to this misleading its rights to be informed about the EIA process at the earliest possible stage were violated. As the Claimant was not properly informed about the preparation of the project, the decision-making procedure was materially violated; therefore, the decision adopted by the Alytus REPD on 30 December 2010 has to be annulled. According to the Claimant, the Defendant did not make any efforts to coordinate the public information actions so that the public would be given a sufficient period of time to get familiarised with the drafted EIA material and to prepare for its proposals, objections and conclusions. All publicly announced documents were posted on the websites of the Sweco Lietuva, the drafter of the EIA documents, or LitPol Link Sp. z.o.o. The information and documents which were necessary to get familiarised with due to the complexity of the project were of a particularly large scope (over 100 pages) and special technical and engineering knowledge was required to analyse the information contained in these documents; therefore, the 10-day deadline set for getting familiarised with the documents was insufficient. It was indicated that the EIA procedure was violated as well, i.e. the EIA report had to be coordinated by the land management divisions of the Alytus and Lazdijai District Municipalities as the planned line will run through state-owned and privately-owned land plots, thus, the land plots will be taken for public needs, or administrative servitudes will be established. The Claimant assumes that the conclusion of the National Land Service as the assignee of the rights of the County Governor’s Administration was inevitable necessary for such project where privately-owned land will be taken for public needs, the purpose of use of land plots will be changed, state-owned forests will be cut, buffer zones and administrative servitudes will be established and other land-related issues will be resolved. Besides, the EIA report was not coordinated with the Lazdijai Fire and Rescue Service. The conclusions of the Alytus County Fire and Rescue Board Service were adduced in the case even though the Alytus Fire and Rescue Service was indicated in the EIA programme. Although the Line will run through the district of Lazdijai but the EIA report was approved without the conclusion of the Lazdijai Public Health Centre and without the approval of the Lazdijai District Municipality of the construction

  • Pdfats 2011 Role of Rangers in Natura
    Study visit 2012 Report to the Alfred Toepfer Nature Heritage Scholarship Tünde Ludnai, Kiskunság NP Directorate, Hungary Application reference no.: ATS-2009-1305884996 Main theme: Biodiversity Project title: Role of Rangers in Natura 2000 site management 1. Rationale Management of Natura 2000 sites is a hot topic all over the European Union, since the implementation and enforcement of the two nature directives in the Member States is more and more controlled and criticized by the European Commission (EC), supported by many European Court decisions, as well as by NGO movements. Following the more or less successful designation of Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) under the Habitats Directive, the Commission puts more and more emphasis on the management issues of Natura 2000 sites including the conservation priorities and measures applied, as well as site management plan preparations and their implementation in the practice. Protected area managers and park ranger services have a lot of experience in the field of in situ – meaning not theoretic - nature management in order to ensure the favourable conservation status of nationally protected species and habitats, but also of those of community importance, listed in the different annexes of the two nature directives. A more effective use of this extended knowledge and experience can be a key tool in the process of ensuring the appropriate protection of the rich and wonderful biodiversity of the old continent. Rangers - working for most of their time in the field, meeting farmers, hunters, foresters, and other stakeholders day to day - have an extremely important role not only in the management of nationally protected areas, but also in that of Natura 2000 sites.

    Depopulation tendencies and territorial development in Lithuania Vidmantas Daugirdas The depopulation process in Lithuania is rapid, Lithuanian Social Research Centre and the gap between the centre and periphery Institute of Human Geography in the country is increasing, which allows one and Demography, region to grow and others to ‘fight’ for survival. Lithuania The main demographic indicators show E-mail: particularly unfavourable trends in sparsely [email protected] populated territories (SPTs) and deviate markedly from the countrywide average. Gintare· Pociute-Sereikiene- · · To confirm these statements, this study Lithuanian Social Research Centre presents the changes in the demographic and Institute of Human Geography and socioeconomic situation in Lithuania during Demography, the period of restored independence. Lithuania The authors place special emphasis on rural E-mail: [email protected] SPTs of the country, and use statistical data as the main instrument to present the tendencies of sociospatial development. The analysis shows that Lithuania is experiencing territorial polarisation, with the greatest gap being between the major cities and the regions in Southern and North-Eastern Lithuania. Additionally, the results indicate that in the meantime, the western and central regions became the ‘generators’ of demographic and socioeconomic problems due to increasing depopulation. The sharpest results of depopulation are the decline of social networks and, simultaneously, the growing number of social problems. This situation increases Keywords: residents’ social and territorial exclusion, depopulation, meaning that institutions are receding from socioeconomic decline, those who remain in rural peripheral regions, sparsely populated territories, leaving them to fight the consequences of peripheralisation, peripheralisation alone without any clear Lithuania regional policy strategies.

  • LITHUANIAN LIBRARIES in 2012 2,633 Libraries, Or by 61 Library
    LITHUANIAN LIBRARIES IN 2012 2,633 libraries, or by 61 library less than in 2011, submitted data to the Lithuanian Integral Library Information System (LIBIS) statistical module. At the end of the last year, the number of physical units in the total Lithuanian library stock amounted to 106,782,659, or by 905.8 thousand more than in 2011. During the year, the number of registered users in country libraries was 1,360,942, or by 37,557 less than in the previous year. The number of visits decreased by 933.2 thousand; the total number of visits at the end of the year comprised 25,428,375. The number of loans keeps decreasing every year. In 2012 it was 34,985,168 physical units, or by 859.9 thousand physical units less than in 2011. Since 2008 the number of loans decreased by more than 6.3 million physical units, in average by 1.27 million physical units annually. Decreasing of the main indicators is determined by various factors – first of all, year by year shrinking library network, increasing emigration of potential users, general decrease of number of inhabitants in the country, increasing number of part- time workers in the libraries, or number of libraries without employees. Part-time workers make up 24.6 percent of the whole number of professional librarians. Traditional library activities are being changed by computerization of the libraries, new technologies and possibilities emerging, online access to information resources. At the end of the year, 93.8 percent of libraries had computers, 92.4 percent had internet access.
