Begjæringen er stilet til: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petition concerns claims of non-compliance by the city of Eckernfoerde with Directive 2002/49/EC on Environmental Noise and other Union legislation, including Directive 2003/4/EC on Public Access to Environmental Information, as well as breaches of the Aarhus Convention. The petitioner details the legal provisions which he claims have been violated, including in particular those relating to mandatory periodic revision of environmental noise action plans, public consultation and participation rights in related decision-making, and access to information. The petitioner claims that certain violations date back as far as 2007, and that the public authorities have repeatedly denied the admissibility of complaints on the procedure and the ensuing delays.
