Germany aloof as Poland calls pipeline conference

This is one of the ideas of lobbying against the Northern pipeline, which is to be laid along the bottom of the sea and which is to be used by Russia to deliver gas to Germany, bypassing Poland. Representatives of governments from Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and neighboring countries have already declared they will send representatives to the conference, but there has been no response yet from Germany and Russia. Bogdan Borusewicz fears that the European Union is neglecting this issue, while Russia and Germany have not presented any serious reports concerning the influence of the pipeline on nature. Borusewicz hopes that engaging ecologists into the issue will lead the EU and Germany to look into the subject. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A3) A.K.
