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.

A novel about a serial-killer in Athens is so realistic that its author, Petros Markaris, had to warn readers that it should not be imitated. The reason : it’s about the tax-dodging Greek elite and the victims of the corrupted system. 
As speculation rages about a Greek exit from the eurozone, we must grasp that the country cannot survive without the single currency and that Europe cannot afford to let it leave. That's why everyone should put their cards openly on the table. 
With less than a month left to go before the kick-off of the Euro 2012, the fate of opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko has poisoned relations between the EU and Ukraine — the co-organiser of the championship along with Poland. However, the issue of human rights is only one aspect of a story in which business interests have also played an important role.
