The re-flooding has been imposed by the EU Habitats directive, and the EU Birds directive.

Perhaps appropriate, being as the EU is one of the more bird-brained inventions of last century.

Nothing much angers me more than reports like this.
Little do-gooders have way too much time on their hands, and international agencies should be told to go " " off!

The bureaucrats who engineer this crap are safe. If they weren't safe, this crap would go away.

The EU is charging onward toward oblivion and taking a lot of innocent people with it.

They do not rail against the EU, instead blaming "environmental extremists". Then they are stupid leftist sheep.

Outrageous.
This goes against instinct for those Dutch people. Holland doesn't have much land to begin with. Perhaps Brussells Grand Square or wherever the EU rat's nest is currently located, should be flooded. It would clean it out.
Aah, the virtues of having joined the EU and their PolitiK and Group Think.

This is what happens when a nation makes the mistake of surrendering sovereignty.

They do not rail against the EU, instead blaming "environmental extremists". Arguably, their foes are the shoppers of Holland and Belgium, with their appetite for cheap goods from the Far East.
In order to allow ever bigger container ships into Antwerp harbour, a deeper channel is to be dredged that will speed up erosion of the banks.
It is that loss of habitat that must be compensated for.

The re-flooding has been imposed by the EU Habitats directive, and the EU Birds directive. They're trying to catch up with all the damage caused by Rachel Carlson and the ban on DDT.

Simply, absolutly, absurd! I live in a Dutch Colony, and this is enimical to telling an American that we are going to demolish your home and give the land back to the Indians because 200 years ago it was part of a tribal homeland.
It goes counter to everything which makes up Dutch thinking. Only a EU Commission could think up somthing like this.

What an absurd ending to this article.

He lives in my basement. I'm having a hard time finding space for all that 20mm ammo though.
