The draft law on offshore wind energy is almost finished, but the office of the Minister for EU Affairs has legal notices regarding it. According to them, “the project does not provide an effective opportunity to suspend the implementation of the project” in the event that community members question the permits issued.

An unfavorable judgment would mean the need to introduce fundamental changes to the entire system of investment procedures.
The second comment concerns the technical notification, in which the EU minister also notices inconsistencies with EU law.
