the judgment should for the time being contrary to the opinion of Greenpeace have no consequences for the planning permission in August 2008. The nuclear regulator UJD explains on its website, the authority will decide on the "exclusion of the suspensive effect". This provides the Slovak Nuclear Energy Act for cases of "urgent public interest and development of a irretrievable damage" before. The current practice of UJD, which was characterized by anticipatory obedience to the Mochovce operators consist of the granting of urgent public interest is little doubt. The Authority acknowledges Greenpeace to allow access to the required documents. The court-ordered integration of the organization should therefore probably be handled as a "subsequent repair."
