Bruselj, 25. februar – Organizaciji CEE Bankwatch in Friends of the Earth Europe sta danes v Bruslju predstavili nov zemeljevid [1], ki predstavlja 50 okolju neprijaznih infrastrukturnih projektov z vprašljivim ekonomskim ozadjem, ki bodo izvedeni ali pa so načrtovani v srednji in vzhodni Evropi. Na osnovi podrobnih raziskav pripravljeni zemljevid z naslovom ‘Cohesion or Collision?' predstavlja kontroverzne projekte v vrednosti 22 milijard evrov. Del teh sredstev je ali bo pridobljen iz evropskih strukturnih in kohezijskih skladov ter s strani Evropske investicijske banke (EIB). Na zemljevidu se je znašel tudi slovenski projekt: gradnja 6. bloka Termoelektrarne Šoštanj.
