EDITORIAL

Obsolete laws for the environment Of the 18 people standing trial for the destruction of the Asopos River ecosystem in Viotia, 10 were let off due to an administrative error. As a result, only six representatives of the polluting companies received suspended jail sentences of 5 to 12 months and a 1,500- to 5,000-euro fine - a punishment more appropriate to a traffic violation.

COMMENTARY

Moving forward Demands made by Britain and Poland cast a shadow over the EU's Brussels summit. The German presidency is trying hard to resurrect the rejected European constitutional treaty, but there is now a broader problem. The real reason behind the lingering paralysis is an internal contradiction at the heart of the European project.
