Schiefergas: Erkundungen im Harbach-Gebiet, Süd-Siebenbürgen. Kulturerbe in Gefahr
Vor einigen Wochen Im Sommer begannen in Süd-Siebenbürgen, dem einstigen „Sachsenland“ mit einzigartiger – zu weiten Teilen unter Natura2000 stehender – Kulturlandschaft und teils zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe gehörenden Kirchenburgen, Sondierungen für Schiefergas. Die Firma S. C. Prospecțiuni S. A. führt diese Arbeiten im Auftrag der S. C. Romgaz S. A. aus.
Wir dokumentieren hierzu diverses Material der betroffenen Bürger_innen sowie der sich formierenden Initiative.

ROSIA MONTANA: Neue Pressemitteilung von Alburnus Maior
Return to Sender
Rosia Montana, 28. March 2005 – Alburnus Maior has come into the possession of a document that implies ‘APD’ (1), ‘GEC’ (2) and ‘CENTRAS’ (3), three Bucharest-based NGOs, in the monitoring of public participation for the permitting of the Rosia Montana mine development. The reason for drawing attention to this is that Alburnus Maior has clear indicators that this is a flawed monitoring project.
Gabriel Resources (‘Gabriel’), a junior Canadian mining company, intends to realize Europe’s largest opencast mining development in Rosia Montana (RMGC). It entails, amongst other, the involuntary resettlement of over 2000 people as well as the destruction of unique archaeological and natural sites. In December 2004 ‘Gabriel’ initiated the procedure to modify the Zoning Plan for the Rosia Montana Industrial Development area as well as the environmental impact assessment (EIA) procedure to obtain an environmental agreement for its mining project.
Representatives of APD, GEC and CENTRAS first appeared in Rosia Montana in RMGC cars in December 2004. Given that none of them explained their role in the public consultations, Alburnus Maior wrote to APD and CENTRAS to enquire about their mission. Since none of them replied, Alburnus Maior contacted them by phone. Cristian Pirvulescu, APD’s president stated during several conversations that his NGO had no project with regards to the Rosia Montana permitting procedure. Regarding CENTRAS it is interesting to note that Dan Petrescu, a founder of this NGO, now is RMGC’s director for permitting.
