Estonia: Negotiations over the Conditions of
ICCP Permit for the Kunda Pulp Plant Factory
An example of how NGOs can negotiate with
developers and reach agreements about the conditions of IPPC permit. Compared
to the administrative or judical procedure, it was clearly more efficient
as both parties had an interest in collaborating and making compromises,
and none of the stakeholders was left totally unsatisfied.

Estonia:
Negotiations over the establishment of Saaremaa Deep Harbour
An example that sometimes the outcome of negotiations does not satisfy any of the parties. The lesson is to determine at the very beginning whether all parties actually want to hold negotiations and are ready to make compromises or not.

Hungary: Route 10
This case illustrates a conflict regarding the planned construction of a new road in the outskirts of Budapest which has still not been solved, besides several attempts of different public institutions to mediate the conflict between environmental NGOs, local mayors and project developer. The mediation meetings led to an exchange of views of the two sides rather than finding a solution to the conflict, mainly because parties are strongly maintaining their standpoints.

Poland: Mediation to End the Blockade of the Lubna Landfill
This case illustrates how poorly organised public participation activities, as well as avoidance of possible conflicts regarding such a sensitive issue as the establishment of a new landfill, can make local residents feel desperate enough to barricade the entrance and road to an old, badly maintained landfill near their homes. In efforts to get the rubbish moving again and establish conditions for the new landfill, the commune turns to the mediator to help to negotiate with the protesters.

Slovenia: Finding the Site for the Low and Intermediate Level Radioactive Waste Repository
This
ongoing case shows that openness, transparency and a well arranged mediation/participation
process can help to find a non-confrontational resolution to such a complicated
issue as site selection for the radioactive waste disposal. Valuable lessons
were learned from the previous site selection process, which had ended
in failure.

been cut down during the long period of administrative or judicial process.
