Reopening of the white marble quarry in the Pyrénées-Orientales, France
the Council of State agrees with the operator of Vingrau's quarry
The Council of State returned to the cancellation of the prefectural decree authorizing the reopening of the Nau-Bouques marble quarry, where 28 species of protected flora and fauna are listed.
Disappointment on the side of the Federation for natural spaces and the environment of the Pyrenees-Orientales. This Wednesday, June 3, 2020, the Council of State quashed the decree of the Marseille Court of Appeal which gave reason to the association. And for good reason this decision confirmed the cancellation of the prefectural decree authorizing the full reopening of the white marble quarry of Nau-Bouques (about eight hectares straddling Vingrau and Tautavel).
