The question before the Court was whether the risks of living close to a nuclear plant was enough for applying Art. 6(1). The Court found it not applicable since the outcome of the proceedings in issue was not directly decisive for the right asserted by the applicants. The applicants could not show that they were exposed to a specific, imminent and serious danger. Texto completo case.aspx
