Poland may well put a spanner in the works of a German-Russian project to lay a gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea, writes Polska Daily. The European Commission has entrusted Warsaw with a mission to dredge the Baltic sea bed of chemical weapons lost during World War 2. A detailed ecological analysis carried out under Polish supervision suggests that an extremely dangerous arsenal lurks underwater. “According to cautious estimates, about 40,000 tons of chemical weapons are strewn across the Baltic seabed, not to mention some 300,000 tons of rusting regular ammunition,” relates Polska. Poland, as well as Stockholm and Helsiniki have been fervent opponents of the German-Russian Nord Stream project from the very beginning. Should a sea bed pipeline be too hazardous, one alternative could well be envisaged - that the pipeline could take a land route… through Poland.
