Publish date: November 14, 2006

It is a possible sign of more shutdowns after the closure of a link to Lithuania, The St Petersburg Times reports. According to the head of the Federal Service for Ecological, Technological and Atomic Inspection Konstantin Pulikovsky, Russia’s pipeline transport is in an unsatisfactory state.

Polish EU Presidency: What does it mean for climate action?
