EU court rules Polish logging in ancient forest was illegal
By EUobserver
The Court of Justice of the EU ruled on Tuesday that Poland should not have increased the cutting of ancient trees in the primeval forest of Bialowieza, confirming the earlier assessment of one of its top legal advisers. Polish authorities "did not carry out an appropriate assessment" of their decision. Poland has already scaled down the logging and has said it would adhere to the court's judgement.
