The Brandenburg Ministry of the Environment wants to announce the restart eight days before the online discussion of criticism of the US electric car manufacturer Tesla's factory in Grünheide is repeated.
The department wants to play it safe, because after discussing over 800 objections from the end of September to mid-October, environmental groups accused the country of being announced too late.
Grünheide - You referred to a case in North Rhine-Westphalia about the Hambach opencast mine.
The State Environment Agency then decided to repeat the procedure for safety reasons.
The Brandenburg Ministry of the Environment, however, spoke of a legal understanding that deviated from the previous interpretation.
With the repetition of the discussion, Tesla CEO Elon Musk's schedule may get into a tailspin.
He plans to have the first electric cars roll off the assembly line in Grünheide by December at the latest.
So far, the final approval from the state has not been obtained.
The new online discussion must also be evaluated after the end of November 22nd.
Tesla is sticking to its schedule.
