La Junta de Castilla y León has canceled five wind farms in the province of León in considering the argument of SEO / BirdLife and the Group for the Study and Advocacy East Mountain Leonesa (Gedemol) that environmental impact assessments of the parks in the regions of Oman and Luna were poor.
This precedent could lead to the need to revoke the authorization granted in Castilla y León to numerous projects in similar circumstances and suspend the licenses for wind farms already in operation, told Europa Press recurrent organizations that maintain about 15 lawsuits on various parks, drainage lines or substations. According
Seo / BirdLife and Gedemol, the Minister of Economy and Employment, Tomás Villanueva, has issued five resolutions submitted in April to those organizations that are canceled authorizations promoted five wind farms in the regions of Oman and Leon Luna.
These resolutions explicitly acknowledged serious shortcomings in environmental impact statements for these wind farms. Especially considering it has not been adequately assessed the joint impact of all these wind projects in these regions, and their power lines nor escape its impact on areas of the Natura 2000 network. LEGAL ACTION 
Specifically, the wind farms Curueño I, Salce, Villabandin I, Cuevas Barrios de Gordon and Vinay are challenged by these associations before the Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Castilla y León, finding some in a phase and very advanced state of preparation, close to the vote and failure of the Judgement of the Chamber.
The first three are also appealed to the Supreme Court, which must rule on the validity of the precautionary measures granted suspension SEO / BirdLife by the Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Castilla y León.
Through these resolutions, resolve any appeals lodged in some cases in 2006. In fact, gaps in the evaluation have been denied by its own autonomous administration repeatedly for court proceedings, even being ratified by senior judicial venue of counseling and Environment Planning Service.
SEO / BirdLife and Gedemol believe that these cancellations wind farm by the Board may respond to attempts to circumvent judicial pronouncements of the courts as happened in the case of the final decision Murias II wind farm, infrastructure immediately adjacent to two of the projects they now pronounce the counselor.
In any case, and considering that the processing of all wind farms in the regions of Oman and Luna Leon suffers from the same that led the Board to withdraw the authorization of the five parks from these associations are requested to "halt immediate operation and construction of all these infrastructure to the delivery of the courts. "
The same sources pointed out that these five resolutions have "great significance" because it should result in the revocation of a multitude of projects authorized in Castilla-Leon for the past ten years ignoring the requirements set out in the standards of the Junta de Castilla y León , particularly in the environmental opinions Regional Wind Plan, "which requires the joint evaluation and synergistic projects and infrastructure associated with wind farms, which has not been done in the parks of the region of Oman, Cepeda and Alto Bierzo ".
