The For Natura 2000 activists were planning to present an art performance on June 21. The play was supposed to include the real process of selling, at auction, valuable plots from the areas protected as part of the Natura 2000 environmental network zones. The action was postponed until Thursday June 28, because at the last minute the Cabinet moved their weekly meeting a day earlier to June 20.

The activists' play will be about how easily construction permits and environmental impact assessments (EIA) are given. This will be their 15th presence in front of the Cabinet, where they will again show the civil disagreement with the decreased list of protected zones that the Bulgarian Government plans to include in the EU network of protected areas Natura 2000.

In the performance, the protected zones will be sold at an auction between investors, municipal councillors, mayors, EIA experts and directors of regional environmental inspectorates who, according to the protesters, are all participants in the standardised scheme of construction in protected areas. Every investor from the auction, after a successful bid for a protected zone, will receive a blank paper with a signature and a stamp, where he can write the EIA by himself, according his needs and investment plan. This symbolises the uncontrolled issuing of EIA that is happening in Bulgaria.

After the plots are sold, they will be taken off the map and a blob will appear in their place, symbolising the removal of all the greenery. With this symbolic action the environmentalists want to show that the nature is being merciless snatched up and sold at low prices. In their media statement, they also cite the fact that according to the statistics, the Black Sea municipalities have issued the most construction permits in first three months of 2007. The show can be watched and taken part in on June 28 in front of the Cabinet at Nezavisimost (Independence) square from 9.30 till 11 am.

Neighbouring Greece is set to be taken to the European Court of Justice by the European Commission (EC) because Greek legislation is not strict enough in protecting certain areas of natural beauty. The legislation covers the protection of Natura 2000 sites, which are part of a European network of protected sites, containing natural habitats and species of plants and animals that are rare, endangered or vulnerable in the EU. Brussels feels that the Greek law allows far too many exemptions and could lead to the protection of the areas being compromised.
