Ireland challenges EU court over peat removal
The European Commission is taking Ireland to court for failing to adequately enforce EU regulations on peat extraction, particularly at smaller sites under 50 hectares. Despite a ban on peat as fuel, commercial extraction for horticultural purposes continues, causing environmental damage and habitat loss. Ireland's authorities claim enforcement efforts are ongoing, but the EC maintains actions have been insufficient, leading to the case being referred to the Court of Justice.
