Italian police overnight biulldozed
protesters' barricades at the Puglia construction site for the
TransAdriatic Pipeline (TAP), paving the way for the temporary
removal of olive trees to resume. The TAP is set to bring
Caspian gas to Europe. Its stretch at Melendugno in the southern
Puglia region has been slammed by demonstrators protesting
against the removal of olive trees, even though they will be put
back in their former sites when the pipeline has been laid.
