RIJEKA, Jan 17 (Hina) - Nongovernmental organisations from
Croatia, Slovenia and Italy on Wednesday met in the Croatian seaport of Rijeka
to discuss environmental consequences of plans for placing a Liquefied
Petroleum Gas terminal off Trieste, building golf courses near Motovun, Croatia
and Lipice, Slovenia as well as building an oil pipeline from the Croatian
town of Delnice to Trieste. They concluded that a recently presented
study on the impact of the said terminal failed to give satisfactory
answers.
Golf courses cannot be built without thorough studies on their impact
on the Karst.
The said oil pipeline may improve the situation in the environmental
protection if it would help remove 300 tankers transporting oil through Trieste
Bay annually, the environmentalists concluded.
