The Council of State on Monday
greenlit the TransAdriatic Pipeline (TAP), rejecting appeals
from the Puglia regional government.
The Council of State ruled that the TAP project had provided
sufficient details on the environmental impact of the project.
TAP aims to bring Caspian natural gas to Europe.
Puglian olive groves have been recently uprooted to make way
for the pipeline, sparking 'No TAP' protests.
The Council of State is Italy's top administrative court,
arbitrating cases concerning the State administration and the
government.
