Investigate Environmental Risks Of Nord Stream Pipeline
added: 2008-05-28
The planned Nord Stream pipeline under the Baltic Sea is just one of many infrastructure projects needed to meet the EU's growing demand for natural gas. Its likely environmental impact should be carefully investigated, and possible alternative overland routes should be assessed first, says an own-initiative report adopted by the Petitions Committee on Tuesday. MEPs also want the EU to play a bigger role in supervising the project.
