I've been following what's been going on in the two parliaments of Italy closely over the last few weeks. There have been various attempts to get the drilling stopped. Every time the 5 Star party proposes a motion to stop it using a variety of tactics. Each time the majority throw the motion out. Hopefully this week will the last we will see this in the Italian press and instead we will talking of our production concession instead

In the last two weeks, the question of Ombrina Mare was tackled by the two chambers of parliament, with results quite disappointing. As always, politics is giving yet another demonstration of how words are completely disconnected from reality. " The state citizens M5S spokesman of the House and Senate. "The words. Nearly all MPs Abruzzo declare themselves, for months now, opposed to the implementation of croaker. Also at the meeting, which took place last Tuesday everyone seemed to agree in having to lock the devastating project croaker, even though most were somewhat confused on the roads to take. We have reiterated that the way forward should be the repeal of the rule / quickie that has allowed us to unlock Ombrina (Article 35 of the Decree of the Government Monti development) through a legislative measure to be approved in a very short time . remember - write the M5S spokesman in the House and Senate - in this regard that in Parliament there are bills that go in this direction, the proposals submitted by the same majority parties and the same Legnini. " "The facts. If words seem all compact against Ombrina, in fact the only 5-star Movement has been consistent, as proposed parliamentary initiatives that went in that direction finding, however, the opposition of the political majority, PD and PDL Choice civic . Last week, in fact the House amendments were tabled and agendas (commitments to the government), all rejected by the parliamentary majority. instead Wednesday in the Senate has landed one of our motion always ask for specific commitments, and this time the majority in the Senate Pilate voted for the postponement of the discussion. Moreover, some Senators of the Democratic Party, including the Pezzopane, filed a motion in this regard (1-00091) with the commitments very vague and wholly inadequate to solve the problem of Ombrina: practically an act useless and only propaganda. At the moment - continue the citizens M5S spokesman for the House and Senate-then among parliamentarians Abruzzo only we have carried out effective actions, others have expressed a deep rift between the words and actions of Parliament. -We conclude M5S-that in the future things go differently, otherwise the Abruzzi know exactly who will be responsible for the umpteenth devastation of our territory Another poor attempt of a translation but original here http://www.abruzzo24ore.tv/news/Ombrina-Mare-M5S-di-Camera-e-Senato-Da-noi-coerenza-dalla-maggioranza-solo-parole/121404.htm

I think, so far, we have had an attempt to block the drilling in both the senate and the chamber. The appeal to the senate a couple of weeks ago was refused on procedural grounds and the appeal in the chamber on Monday that my link and freestyler's translation referred to was not supported by the rest of the chamber.IMHO, if mr vacca is asking for people to campaign through Twitter and Facebook, then he doesn't have any further legislative avenues to go down

Hopefully the last obstacle to getting all the signatures required. Thats the Senate and the Chamber saying "NO" to a repeal of article 35 http://www.primadanoi.it/news/abruzzo/541181/Parlamento--bocciati-in-Commissione-gli.html

Nothing official yet but looks like good news http://www.chietitoday.it/cronaca/approvato-ombrina-mare-petrolio-ortona-costa.html Approved Ombrina Mare 2: the mega oil rig off the coast of overflow ' A very serious news for the sea and Tourism Abruzzo Abruzzo arrives today by WWF: The Ministry of Environment has approved the mega-project "Croaker Sea": The platform for the extraction of oil in front of the Costa dei Trabocchi. On the coast between Ortona, San Vito, Rocca San Giovanni, Fossacesia and Torino di Sangro English Mediterranean Oil and Gas will build a center oils float 350 meters long for desulfurization in place of oil and gas extracted from the seabed. Everything just 9 km from the shore and the shelf approximately 6 km from the site of Community Ditch Butterfly and close to many other sites of Community interest. For the WWF is a gift to the oil companies made by the Government Monti in area Cesarini. The association now invites institutions to immediate mobilization to activate the procedures for appeal to the TAR as soon as the decision will be published in the Official Gazette. "We ask all candidates to stand up to anyone in the government blocks immediately this unfortunate project that undermines any idea of ​​the future for the beautiful stretch of coastline Theatine which must become a national park," said Fabrizia Arduini, coordinator of WWF Energy Abruzzo. RISK estimates of the same MOG, every day will be released into the atmosphere about 200 tons of fumes from combustion engines, from incinerators and atmospheric torch. In the few months of drilling and production tests will be produced 14 thousand tons of waste between drilling mud and more. The ITER undemocratic Granting Ombrina Mare had a notice of rejection in 2010 when VIA Ministry of the Environment Decree Prestigiacomo but thanks to the Development Decree passed by the Government Monti in summer 2012 allowed the MOG to reopen the discussion again, excluding citizens from the possibility of re-send comments to the contrary
