“The Tisza government will not be a partner to the construction of a second or a third plant in addition to Chinese battery maker CATL’s first plant in Debrecen,” Tárkányi said in an interview with Debreciner.
“If it had been up to me, up to us, then there wouldn’t be a single battery plant, a single polluting plant in Debrecen,” he added.
Tárkányi said the new cabinet would take a stricter approach to regulating the operation of the battery industry, including more severe sanctions.
A key role in that endeavor, he added, would be played by a new watchdog to operate under the aegis of the environment ministry from September.
