The 1991 agreement stipulates “the general obligation of States to notify and consult each other on all major projects under consideration that are likely to have a significant adverse environmental impact across boundaries”, as written on UNECE website.
EDF spokesman said: “The UK supreme court has already rejected a challenge from An Taisce which claimed that the government should have consulted other member states before making its decision on the development.”
EDF won the $22, 3 billion contract to build nuclear plant in September 2016.
