"I voted in favour of the report by Mr Marcin Libicki. This is an important report. I would, however, like to remind you that it is incorrect to say that this issue came to the European Parliament as a result of petitions from citizens. My colleague Mr Bogusław Sonik proposed holding a debate on the North European Pipeline many months before the petitions were received.
I am surprised by the opposition to this report. We often talk about ecological matters and this does not arouse any opposition. However, in this specific example, some Members do not want there to be any research into the impact of the project on the natural environment. Why? The answer is simple: for some countries and politicians this particular project is more important than the environment. Perhaps for this very reason we should consider the political and economic context of the planned investment. I am aware of the argument that this is a private project. We should not forget, however, that former politicians figure on the board of the company that is to build this pipeline. For Russia, using private projects to further political objectives is no problem at all."@en1
