5^th September 2001.

1. Not meeting the obligation to include all area of Bialowieza primeval forest in the area of Balowieza National Park, which brings doubts to Polish government's reliability on the international arena.
   
2. The human resource policy of the Minister of Environment shows an inclination to dismiss people whose achievements enjoy the appreciation of the community (like Wojciech Gasienica-Byrcyn, Director of Tatra National Park and Man of the Year of Polish Ecology in 2000), while tolerating activities of employees harmful to the environment (like Grzegorz Bielecki, Director of the state department of National Parks in the case of a plan for the protection of the Drwenski National Park), as well as overlooking the results of selection competitions of skills and knowledge for important positions in environmental management (like in Babiogórski and Swietokrzyski National Parks).
   
3. The abolition of preservation of endangered animals and plants. Regardless of the fact that Poland has a long tradition in protection of rare species, Minister Tokarczuk did not issue any executive acts in respect of species protection by law. In consequence the legal protection of rare species, including the symbols of Polish nature - bison, golden eagle and white-tailed eagle, expired on the 3-rd of August 2001.
   
4. Lack of ratification of the plan for preservation of the Tatra National Park submitted in 1999, as well as not undertaking alternative decisions in this matter.
   
5. Undermining the legal stability of the regulations applying to the management of Polish National Parks. Since February this year, regardless of his duties, the Minister has not issued any executive directives establishing annual protection plans for national parks, which still do not have long term protection plans. In consequence any preservation actions are devoid of legal support. To this day the Minister has not issued any details about principles regulating the preparation of protection-plans for national parks. This will make it impossible to prepare new protection plans, although all previous protection plans will expire in six month.
   
6. Embarrassingly low standard of the legislative work of the Ministers office. For example, projects of executive acts regulating the way of preparing plans for the protection of reserves, national parks and landscape parks, are judged as an attempt to move back the environment protection to the level of the sixties of the last century.
   
7. Ignoring the representatives of ecological organisations in respect of the shaping of advisory and consultative bodies. For instance: the Council of Drawenski National Park.
   
8. Signing of agreements with some of the Tatra municipalities, with the view to reduce the area of the Tatra National Park, which was illegal at that time and which is widely seen as harmful for the nature.
   
9. Negligence of efforts to preserve and enforce the decisions made by the Minister, demonstrated in the Minister's passiveness in court cases against the Ministry in the Administrative High Court. (for Example: case of the Polandor company, regarding a location of a big litterless pig-farm within the protection zone of the Drawienski National Park).
   
10. Cessation of all practical works regarding the creation of National Turnicki and National Mazurski Parks.
    
11. Inappropriate representation of environmental protection affairs in conflict cases, where economical and environmental needs collide, as in the building of a dam in Nieszawa, project "Odra 2006", or plans about laying a gas pipeline through Bieszczady Mountains.
