Alwaysup,
Just been reading this newspaper report and OECD Guidance Documents again.
Their guidance documents are just that and not actually legislation and Best Available Techniques, to which their guidance refers to and the necessity to comply with. The compliance being as equally applicable to the Government and associated Official Bodies/Officers etc administering such legislation.
It sounds like the complaint to the OECD based on the NGO’s report document has been sent to ARSO by them and they refused to comment. Jure Leben also refused to comment and from reading through the OECD guidance documentation further it would appear that it potentially identifies his failings as a Government Minister/Officer too, particularly in regards to acting beyond his powers based on a hidden agenda to promote his biased opinions, a clear ABUSE OF POWER!?....
Tango 1,
I was thinking exactly the same as yourself and was wondering why Jure Leben hadn’t made a bigger thing of it, particularly if it was that good and supported his campaign to single-handedly destroy Ascent Slovenia business.!...?....
The best write up on the Report and the basis of the claim to the OECD I can find is in the below news report link which is more neutral on the matter than some of the other political and environmental extremism ones used to draw in readers!...
Link below:-

Interesting where it says the following amongst most other interesting stuff in the article:-
"The investor appealed against the decision to Arso, and the second instance (the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning) dismissed the appeal. Arso was informed in September that the investor had initiated an administrative dispute in the Administrative Court," the agency recalled. However, they added that they were not competent to comment on a complaint under the OECD Guidelines for the Responsible Operation of Multinationals.....
Former Environment Minister Jure Leben, who revealed in an Ars inquiry into how British society is doing, declined to comment on the OECD's appeal today.
The PLOT THICKENS???.....;-)
Mysteron,
Exactly and fully agree!...
Indeed report very lacking in references to those HIGHLY RIGOROUS AND ROBUST industry standards, specifications, rules and regulations in place to prevent such a scenario happening!...
Yet more SENSATIONALISM from certain groups/press on the matter....
Ray1234,
Indeed and all rather “FRUSTRATING” to the whole process in more ways than one at the moment!... However, even with “BORED GAMES” players there is always a winner???....;-)
Zibi3105,
Not certain how to take your last comment !..... Maybe a spelling mistake on your part???...;-)
The above smiley face gives you my benefit of the doubt....x
Maybe John has identified the Shallow Prospects from the seismic and they have been code named the “Eiger Prospect”???.....;-)
LC81,
Not quite certain what the relevance of John putting pictures up on Facebook of the Grand Canyon are and who actually pointed this out on here or Twitter is rather sad in trying to use it to discredit him!...
Furthermore, such pictures could have been taken anytime in the past & only just posted and so trying to use the argument that John is living it large off his wages earned whilst working for Ascent and even if they where, so what as he is entitled to a holiday!... More of a case of TOXIC TROLLING by some!?!?......
Errrm some very strange emotionally laden posts of late!.....
LC81,
And ain’t you here to make money too!....?....
New_2_LSE2018,
No point doing an EIA unless you know what you need to satisfy, they now have a benchmark to work to in this regard and hopefully not a “yellow brick road” of continually guessing!...?....
No point having a concession without a quantifiable amount of reserves!... Who did the deal on owning the concession again, someone please remind me???...
Brockster,
Why should Ascent be penalised anyway and consequently then have to incur extra costs for needing to use compressors because of Jure Lebens intervention with the wells re-stimulation permitting process!...
Misiekm,
So where does Jure Leben register on the criminal scale!?...
A Minister who intervened in the well permitting process to stop it based on his hidden environmental supporting agenda, which he declared his support of after his intervention and his recommendation to ARSO to then not grant the permit as a result of his clearly BIASED agenda!...
Isn’t this essentially gross ABUSE OF POWER on behalf of Jure Leben!... So why did he resign again???...
And there we have another repeat one liner on the list!....?...;-)
Zebediah16,
I can certainly say that Rocket13 and myself are not one of the same!...
And many experiment with the truth on here with there one liners...?...;-)
Zibi3105,
It will soon be Guy Fawkes night!...;-)
Maybe Riverfort "burning" some shares in Jarvis Management Fees!....?.....
Maybe the least said publicly the better then!?....
And relevances to #AST are like what exactly Reso with those links???.....
Kashdog/Alwaysup,
Don’t AST/Petrol Geoenergo now have a “KNOWN” benchmark to work towards if an EIA is so required!?... The initial refusal removed the “GUESSING” game in this regard did it not???....
So let’s hope the “PATH” is more clearer and smoother now!?!?......;-)
Balkans Petroleum Summit 2019 over next two days...
Wonder who will be doing the presentation on Slovenia???...

Stockdale,
Am still not convinced about the Russian influence, what about Croatia in this respect they are looking at expanding their own production after all!?...
Either way Petrol expanding into Croatia with Geoplin and the recent acquisition of Crodux giving it 2 to 10% of the wholesale gas market depending on location in Croatia improves competitiveness of the market!... You could argue the same for Slovenia if they have other sources of supply???...
