Da zagadjenje Bokokotorskog zaliva nije prazna prica, koja traje vec decenijama, nedvosmisleno pokazuje najnoviji primjer pojave jos jedne mrlje u moru od pjeskarenja brodova u Arsenalu pored Tivta. Koliko more moze izdrzati , izgleda, jos je otvoreno pitanje.

Il pił grande bacino turistico d'Europa č minacciato dalla concentrazione lungo le coste di attivitą altamente inquinanti quali le industrie petrolchimiche e le raffinerie, la costruzione di centrali termoelettriche, un'agricoltura con forte impiego di sostanze chimiche, l'eccessiva concentrazione di impianti per la produzione zootecnica a carattere industriale lungo i corsi d'acqua principali (a partire dal Po, che scarica in Adriatico il 40% delle acque reflue del territorio italiano), l'aumento esponenziale degli insediamenti civili e produttivi, gli intensi traffici di sostanze pericolose (specialmente di idrocarburi), gli inquinamenti provenienti da terra e dal largo, la crescente urbanizzazione, l'erosione delle coste, l'eutrofizzazione, hanno messo in serio pericolo l'habitat naturale, la biodiversitą, la qualitą ambientale, nonché i vari aspetti delle economie marittime e costiere. E' l'appello della due giorni di Goletta Verde nel porto di Marina di Ravenna.

La Commissione Europea ha sottoposto al Consiglio dei ministri dell'ambiente la proposta di eliminare i divieti nazionali alle produzioni agricole ogm. Se il Consiglio dei ministri dell'ambiente non raggiunge la maggioranza qualificata per bloccare la proposta della Commissione, questa potrą confermare la sua domanda di cessazione del bando. Ma i ministri dovranno considerare che il rapporto confidenziale della Monsanto sugli effetti negativi del mais Ogm MON863 sulla salute dei topi che č stato reso pubblico da Greenpeace. Il giudizio rappresenta un precedente per le aziende che cercano di tenere nascoste le analisi di rischio sulle piante Ogm. In questi anni, grazie alla forte opposizione, il numero di nuove autorizzazioni č sceso. Tra i paesi che hanno dato pił spazio ai prodotti ogm ci sono la Cina, l'India e il Brasile che č stato il primo maggior produttore ad approvare una legge per l'uso di sementi ogm. Ma il porto brasiliano di Paranagua prosegue nel suo bando all'esportazione di soia ogm deciso a maggio, nonostante la decisione della Corte suprema dell'aprile scorso.

Tilaston mukaan vain kolme EU:n jäsenmaata on epäonnistunut ilmastopolitiikassaan yhtä pahasti kuin Suomi, vaikka Suomen päästötavoite on henkeä kohti EU:n korkeimpia. Järjestöjen mukaan myös valmisteilla oleva kansallinen energia- ja ilmastostrategia on kunnianhimoton.
