"Article 194 of the future Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (the Lisbon Treaty) clearly states that EU policy on energy should, in a spirit of solidarity between Member States, have regard for the need to preserve and improve the environment. I can in no way agree that the natural environment in Europe can be made slave to EU external energy policy, when in recent years Europe has spoken out forcefully for environmental protection. Given the fact that the Baltic Sea is already one of the most contaminated maritime areas today, it is unacceptable to subject it to any further risk factors which could lead the area to the brink of natural and economic catastrophe in the future. I urge the European Parliament to support the ideas put forward by the Baltic Sea countries, the rapporteur and environmental organisations for the Baltic pipeline to be built on land and I therefore urge the European Commission and Council to use all available legal means at their disposal to change the constructor’s plan to construct the pipeline through the Baltic Sea."@en1
