owner - and later the owner signed a statement in which he undertook the implementation of the conservation treatments. In 1998 and 1999 botanical and conservational investigations were re­sumed in the area (SZOLLÁT 1999). The Mid-Danubial-valley Environ­mental Agency issued the environmental licence for the owner, the Pólus-Palace Ltd. in November 1998 to construct the golf course at Göd. In December the separation of the nationally protected fens became possible through the division of the topographical numbers. At the same time, the first instance resolution of the Mid-Danubial-valley Environmental Agency was appealed against by the Göncöl Foundation thereby moving the case to the Inspectorate. The landowner, as well as the local govern­ment, intended to release the areas having significant natural values, but not protected at national level (non-fen areas) from local protection. These included "taboo" areas such as a sand-mound in the southern part (top. no. 025/6—7) and part of "compromise" lands in the northwestern area (top. no. 6607/2). The parties started negotiating with the Directorate of the Duna-Ipoly National Park. (These areas remained under local protection to present day. Theoretically, the status of local protection has no signifi­cance since according to the law the owner has to preserve the occurring protected species). The construction of the golf course was continued in 1999. In June the National Inspectorate for Environment and Nature, after the personal in­terview of Tibor Seregélyes by assistant under-secretary János Tardy about the impact study's assessment, licensed the construction of the golf course. The constructions went on in 2000 and the first conservation treatments (e.g. meadow mowing) were also performed that year. In 2001 the Göncöl Foundation had called for the re-examination of the owner's conservation licence. The Directorate of the Duna-Ipoly Na­tional Park did not intervene as the territories under national level protec­tion in its competency were not affected; the proposal thus failed. On the part of the owner the idea of a "panorama lake", instead of a small one, as part of the habitat reconstruction, as well as the modification of the plans for the golf course section #18 have came up (that is, changes that would have affected more than twice the area in the "taboo" category as was filed in the agreement). However, based on an expert report the Directorate of the Duna-Ipoly National Park has issued licence for the construction of
