In 2020, the Ecoclub filed a lawsuit against the Department of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Rivne Regional State Administration. We demanded the cancellation of the positive conclusion from Kronospan`s environmental impact assessment.
The court proceedings lasted more than two years because initially, the local courts made an illegal decision to return the Ecoclub`s lawsuit. Subsequently, the duration of the proceedings was affected by the state of war in Ukraine and the participation of many participants in the process (the third party – Kronospan).
