Incomprehensible Decision
Dresden - 2008-07-08 - D. Davydov
On Friday, Juli 4, the World Heritage Committee declared, that the world heritage site "Dresden Elbe Valley" will stay on UNESCO World Heritage List. It said that in the event that the construction of the bridge was not stopped and damage reversed, the property would be deleted from the World Heritage List in 2009. Meanwhile the property remains on the Danger List. The statement of the WHC demonstrates the slight hope that the building of a four-lane bridge across the valley will be stopped and work undertaken to reverse damage caused to the integrity of the landscape of the German site. Dresden's currently elected mayoress, Helma Orosz, called the Committee's decision "incomprehensible". Nobody would believe that the city is going to deconstruct the half-finished bridge. One is bound to endorse Mrs. Orosz. In view of the uncompromisingly position of Dresden's municipality and the government of the Free State of Saxony the present decision of the World Heritage Committee is in fact incomprehensible. The consequent measure would be to remove the Dresden Elbe Valley from the list, as it has been decided last year.
