"Italy wishes to impose an onshore gas terminal on the border with Slovenia without consultation. However, the European Union was founded on mutual trust and good neighbourly relations. The supply of environmentally-harmful energy sources requires special conservation of the environment but, in essence, it also requires basic honesty.
By seeking to conceal from Slovenia the harmful consequences which its actions will have on the cross-border environment, Italy is harming everyone concerned, including itself but, above all, the people who live in the vicinity of the disputed installation. The Slovenian public and the Slovenian Government are firmly opposed to this terminal.
Lying to the cameras may well be Mr Berlusconi’s means of political survival in Italy. However, such behaviour cannot and should not be tolerated as a deliberate practice within the European Union. This is unacceptable.
This is a flagrant breach of the principles of the European Union and Italy is being manipulative to the detriment of human life and the environment. It is using international deception to attempt to build an onshore terminal at Žavlje (Aquilinia) in the Gulf of Trieste, which is already extremely narrow. It is degrading the environment, destroying the prospect of communal coexistence on the border and setting a very poor example to future Member States."@en1
