The HCB-U Committee Chairman Korak rejected the implementation of the Aarhus Convention relating to the HCB scandal. This shows that "Korak is not capable of objective chairmanship and the subject does not understand. For the Aarhus Convention regulates public access and environmental organizations to justice in environmental matters. It is just the relevant approval procedures for Blaukalkverarbeitung where residents, citizens initiatives and local community neither party status has access to relevant environmental information had. "
The testimony of the witness Herwig Schuster of Greenpeace summarizes Johann as follows: "With regard to the transparency and cooperation of the state government in the investigation of the HCB scandal Schuster showed essentially satisfied Concerning further landfill exploitation he considers the utilization in the cement plant for the best variant. In addition to specific technical requirements such as mercury purification, input limiting the CHC content of Blaukalk, quantity limitation, introduction into the hot zone and thermal oxidation, Greenpeace also maintains a test operation to be necessary. From its success it should depend loud Schuster whether the is to take place in the cement plant continued Blaukalkverwertung If not., Schuster looks disposal at the landfill as remaining variation. "
As incomprehensible Johann called the accusation of ÖVP chairman in the Carinthian parliament, Ferdinand headdresses that Greenpeace had failed in the Causa HCB. Says Johann "Why Greenpeace as a charitable NGO should be the responsibility here somehow, she will not reveal."
Although Koraks chairmanship to be desired, Johann remains persistently. One of introduced him before the coming weeks request for relevant documentation and an opinion from the prosecutor's office was then indeed rejected, a new application will be similar but probably decided in a closed session of the Committee by the majority.
