Description

In 2015, the European Investment Bank Complaints Mechanism Division (EIB-CM) received a complaint from Stowarzyszenie Pracownia na rzecz Wszystkich Istot and Bankwatch, civil society organisations addressing environmental issues. The complaint concerned an approximately 7 km long section of the S7 Expressway between the town of Skarżysko-Kamienna and the Masovian Voivodeship border in Poland. The complainant alleged that the EIB failed to correctly assess: 1. The project’s environmental impact, namely: a. Impact on habitats and species located within and outside the “Lasy Skarżyskie” Natura 2000 area (e.g. impact on protected butterfly species’ habitats). b. Lack of assessment of the cumulative impacts of the project. c. Insufficient assessment of alternatives. d. Lack of a wildlife crossing for large animals and inadequate place for the planned wildlife crossing for medium-sized animals. 2. The validity of the project’s environmental authorisation.
