Built on fourteen islands, Stockholm has been hailed as Venice of the North. Like Venice, it boasts magnificent buildings and reverberates with the echoes of centuries past.

Recurso nº 109 IA 134, Ponente Publié
Regeste Art. 85 lit. a OG; Initiative in der Form der allgemeinen Anregung; Ungültigerklärung. 1. Zielkonflikt zwischen Bundesrecht und kantonalem Recht. Die Schaffung, gemäss Initiative, eines durch die Wasserkraftwerke zu finanzierenden Energiefonds, der Ausgleichsbeiträge an die Gemeinden leistet, welche Wassernutzungskonzessionen verweigern, würde es der Kantonsregierung erschweren, wenn nicht faktisch verunmöglichen, nach Art. 11 WRG statt der Gemeinden Wassernutzungsrechte zu verleihen...
