what do you expect? The european union is widely known for strange and impractical decisions.
A few of its members basically drag the rest along for bad decisions and the smaller guy follow because they need that sweet sweet eu money.
- p_l 4y agoIn this case it wasn't "strange or impractical" decision - the mine endangered water table on Czech side of the border. Czech Republic protested expansion unless Poland funded some minor work to ensure access to water was unimpeded. The incompetents in the government decided that negotiation, or the way lower than the dien cost of fixing water pipeline for few villages, was beneath them. The ECJ injunction was about stopping the expansion when, as matter spanning the border, the case was taken to court. Once again politicians decided to... Ignore the injunction, which resulted in a fine, and finally the fine was taken from funds that would otherwise go to Poland.
