Green light of the Technical Committee Regionale of the Apulia to the rigassificatore of Brindisi



Yesterday the Technical Committee Regionale (CTR) of the Apulia completed a right about turn approving of the study of feasibility introduced from Brindisi LNG for the realization of a terminal of regasification in resort Head Biano, in the external area of the port of Brindisi, study that the same Committee had recently rejected.

"The voting yesterday afternoon inside of the Technical Committee Regionale of the Firemen, within the ministry of the Insides - the apulian regional city council member to the Quality of the Atmosphere has commented, Lorenzo Nicastro - leaves the bitter in mouth regarding criticalities in terms of safety of the work that absolutely are not exceeded. The regional government, for through of the technical structures, had expressed perplexity on intentional localization from the company and on a series of elements connected to the project anything but clarified". "The position of the system, the risks connected to the sversamenti of gas liquid, doubts on the management and the treatment of the reflui as well as a perplexity series on the systems of connection of the system of Brindisi to the national nets (methane pipe-line and oil pipe-line) in an area to fort hydraulic risk - it has continued the city council member - had prudently addressed the Committee to a negation of the authorization in the sitting last April. Without those doubts have been in some way dissipated and without some new element in the argument is taken part, the contribution of new members in the argument has turned over the April voting granting the authorization at work". "We conserve all our perplexities on the work. We have the institutional duty - it has concluded Nicastro - to estimate with punctuality the impact, in environmental terms and of industrial risk, than the system and the six management million tons of methane liquid per year, would have on the area. Our technical reliefs are not exceeded and, whereby it was necessary, will be the foundation in order to appeal in the competent centers".

That the Region Apulia has the intention of oppose to the green light has confirmed it the president of the agency, Nichi Vendola, that it has announced a resource to the Regional administrative court. "The Region Apulia - it has emphasized the governor - will continue to beat with all its forces against the project of the rigassificatore of Brindisi. The approval of the feasibility study - Vendola has denounced - has been a violent action because the Committee had already some month makes rejected the same study of feasibility. Today instead, thanks to yes of the representative of the ministry of the Job and however with a most risked majority, the Committee has literally turned over its judgment. It is a ballot that we consider lacking in legitimacy, contesting some the procedure. We once again announce therefore a resource to the Regional Administrative Court, restating the absolute contrarietà of the Region Apulia to a project very little careful to the system of the rules and the environmental rights".
