The Council of State on Tuesday
rejected an appeal from the Abruzzo regional government and
approved gas exploration and drilling in the Adriatic, from
Emilia Romagna to Puglia.
Abruzzo had appealed against the environment ministry and the
Spectrum Geo LfD company.
The decision was contained in a series of sentences published
between February 28 and March 8, the Nuovo Quotidiano di Puglia
local daily reported.
Drilling in the Adriatic has been opposed by activists and by
regional governments whose regions lie along the coast.
