Poland's logging in ancient forest breaches EU law: court advisor

Luxembourg, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 20th Feb, 2018 ) :Poland breached EU law by allowing logging in one of Europe's last primeval forests, the legal advisor to the bloc's top court said Tuesday, setting up a new clash between Brussels and Warsaw.

Yves Bot, advocate general to the European Court of Justice, said decisions by Poland's rightwing government to allow logging in the Bialowieza Forest "infringe EU law". The EU court often, but not always, follows the legal opinions of the advocate general when making its final decision. Its ruling is expected at a later date.
