On 2nd October 2013 the European commission will ultimately decide whether the gas terminal to be built in the Italian waters of the Gulf of Trieste, just near the border with Slovenia, will be listed on the EU priority list of energy projects of common interests. In July, Slovenia has rejected the list due to this project, claiming that it is disputable for several reasons, among which cross-border environmental issues are essential. The terminal would severely threaten the fragile marine ecosystem of the shallow Gulf of Trieste.
The Alpe Adria Green international environmental center is running a capaign against building the planned gas terminal and is thus inviting you to sign the petition here, or at their stand nearby the market place in the city of Koper, on Saturday, 21st September 2013 between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
The petition will be sent to the Government of Slovenia, to the European commissioner for the Environment, Mr. Janez Potočnik, and to the European Commission.
