The European Union on Thursday launched an investigation into Polish logging in its ancient Białowieża forest, a protected Unesco World Heritage site which includes some of Europe’s last primeval woodland.
“The commission has launched an infringement procedure against Poland ... the commission is in contact with the Polish authorities to make sure that any measures are in line with EU law,” a spokesman said. [...]
Environmentalists said instead the logging will destroy an ecosystem untouched for more than 10,000 years and complained to the European commission, the EU’s executive arm.
