EC supports Constanta to Trieste pipeline in Romania

It is reported that the European Commission supports the project of the oil pipe Constanta to Trieste, which will make possible the construction of an important pipeline on a long distance, which will connect the Black Sea and Trieste and which will cross Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia and Italy.

Mr Fabrizio Barbaso deputy GM of general division for energy and transport of the European Union said that “We believe that the project will bring very significant advantages, reducing the pressure exerted on the environment in the Mediterranean Sea, which is now confronted with an intense traffic of the tankers, and also on the Danube which is in the same situation.”

Mr Barbaso at the meeting of the Interstate Committee for the oil pipe Constanta-Trieste, held at the head offices of the Permanent Mission of Romania with the European Union said that the project of Constanta-Trieste pipe will promote the regional integration for the countries involved in this initiative and the economic development.
