Riepu Bloki appeals EUR 12.9 mln fine imposed by State Environmental Service
Representatives of the courthouse indicated that the Riepu Bloki application has been registered on October 11 and the
case has been accepted for hearing on October 12.
The State Environmental Service has one month to provide explanations to
the Liepaja courthouse about the penalty imposed on Riepu Bloki. After that, the Liepaja courthouse will decide on a
date for hearing the case.
As reported, the State Environmental Service has also terminated its
agreement with Riepu Bloki which had
been storing tons of old tires on Starta Street in Riga. The State
Environmental Service is also terminating waste management agreements with Nordic Recycling and Latvijas Zalais Eketrons and slapping
fines of EUR 8.3 million and EUR 13.7 million respectively for a failure to pay
natural resources tax.
Both Nordic Recycling and Latvijas Zalais Eketrons are also going
to appeal the fines which they claim to be unlawfully imposed.
