World Heritage in Europe: decisions regretted by UNESCO

First, UNESCO deplored the decision by a German court authorising the construction of a bridge likely to entail the withdrawal of the cultural landscape of the Elbe valley at Dresden from the list of World Heritage sites: the status of the site is due to be reviewed by the World Heritage Committee at its next meeting in July 2008.

UNESCO then regretted the decision of the British government to cancel the road improvement plans for the A303 around the Stonehenge World Heritage site.
