With reference to current reports no. 10/2012, 34/2014, 3/2019 and 28/2020 and information on the procedure regarding the environmental decision for Tomisławice opencast included in subsequent periodic reports, ZE PAK SA („Company”) informs that the Supreme Administrative Court, in its judgment of June 25, 2024, after a hearing, dismissed the cassation appeal of the Greenpeace Polska Foundation and one natural person against the judgment of the Provincial Administrative Court in Poznań of June 18, 2020, which dismissed the complaint against the decision of the Local Government Appeals Court in Konin of September 27, 2019, refusing to invalidate the final decision of the Mayor of Wierzbinek Commune of August 7, 2007, establishing the environmental conditions for consent to the implementation by PAK Kopalnia Węgla Brunatnego Konin SA of a project involving the extraction of lignite from Tomisławice deposit within the borders of Wierzbinek Commune.
In the oral reasons for the decision, the Supreme Administrative Court stated that the material collected in this case, conducted over several years, does not in any way indicate that a gross violation of the law occurred when issuing the above-mentioned environmental decision, therefore there were no grounds to declare the decision of the Mayor of Wierzbinek Commune of August 7, 2007 invalid.
The judgment of the Supreme Administrative Court, which is favorable to the Company, is final and binding upon its issuance.
