A committee of the European Parliament says the proposed Nord Stream pipeline between Russia and Germany poses 'a serious ecological threat' to the Baltic Sea. But doubts have been raised over the claims, with some experts saying criticism of the project is inspired by political rather that environmental concerns.

  • Poland loses one milliard US dollars annually in case NordStream is constructed so one shouldn't wander too long to understand the true reasons behind polish concerns about "environment".As we know,Poland itself is planning another oil-pipe which passes partly under the bed of Black Sea and that oil-pipe is 100 times more dangerous to the environment than any other pipe.

  • Your logic is perfect example of polish crazy thinking.Dear lad,we talk about GAS pipeline now.

  • fuck the E.U

    they are building it right the fuck now

  • Russia can go to hell along with Germany except for Bavaria maybe.

  • Polish goverment is cooperating with European and Asian countries on project of Nabucco pipe from Caspian sea bed to Germany. That is a proof that Poland is interested in diversification of sources not in gas transit income.

  • What is wrong with you, people? what a hatred coming from your opinions. What was the idea of UE? to be together, respect diversity and respect each other. In my opinion Germany puts its own business in front of the business of whole Baltic area. I still belive in compromise that will not divide.

  • The Balts and the Poles are afraid of losing a source to illegally tap into - a land oil pipeline - running through Eastern Europe.

  • second only to the US media

  • This is the most corrupt media in the world!

  • These concerns are not fantasy I saw on maps published in the Economist magazine which include Russian wrecks from WWII as well. If your country keeps up its bully boy tactics you will end up with no friends.

  • Poland is just scared because Druzhba Pipeline will lose its importance

  • These blood suckers will go to any lengths just to hinder plans to improve the situation.

    Germany has to overcome them otherwise gradually Russian gas can say bye bye to them...!
