Tavira Quarry to Appeal Closure Decision to the Court of Appeal in Évora

The company operating the Cerro do Meio quarry in Tavira announced it will appeal the closure decision to the Court of Appeal in Évora. The company argues it is a completely legal operation and demands that people be allowed to continue working. The appeal follows a decision that forced the quarry's closure, against which the company intends to present legal arguments. Quarry management expressed surprise at the closure decision, considering it incompatible with the legality of its activity. The company reinforces that it complies with all legal and regulatory standards applicable to aggregate extraction, requesting that the situation be reevaluated. This case emerges in the context of tensions between quarry operators in the Algarve and environmental and urban licensing authorities in the region.
