lpv:translated text	"EU states are continuing to implement projects with potentially catastrophic consequences, while at the same time discussing the impact of human activities on the environment. Yesterday the Nord Stream pipeline was a business project between two countries – Germany and Russia; today it has become an EU priority. The Nord Stream pipeline is to be constructed under a shallow sea that happens to be the most polluted in the world, the bottom of which is littered with chemical weapons from World War II along with pollutants from Russian military bases. It is intended to pass through Natura 2000 territory. It is imperative that we have an independent investigation into the potential environmental consequences. In the event of a catastrophe, people living around the sea will suffer any damage directly and there will also be consequences for the economy of the countries and the environment in general. Who will be held responsible? There are 10 states whose citizens live around the Baltic Sea; it is not just Germany and Russia, countries with a history of deciding the fate of other nations. I call on Europe to be unanimous in searching for other alternatives such as land pipelines and to consider nuclear energy, not gas, as an environmentally friendly alternative with the potential to provide the EU with secure energy."@en1
