The communication alleges non-compliance with article 7 of the Convention concerning public participation in the preparation of farm and hunting plans, and a general failure by the Party concerned to implement article 9 (3) of the Convention due to a lack of standing for non-governmental organizations, and very limited standing for individuals, to challenge plans and programmes relating to the environment.
