According to Finnish news the Polish government has decided to postpone the restart of the building of the road.

Rummenigge, are you saying that the EU commission is having Poland in its sights because it may not sign up on the new "constitution"?

You don't have to answer - the answer is quite obvious. Here is another example:

European route E67, also known as the Via Baltica, is a highway running from Prague in the Czech Republic to Helsinki in Finland by way of Poland, Kaunas (Lithuania), Riga (Latvia), and Tallinn (Estonia). It is the most important road connection between the Baltic states.

The final stretch between Tallinn and Helsinki is by ferry (with about 20 departures each direction per day).

It is referred to as the Via Baltica in Northern Poland, Lithuania, Riga and Estonia, a distance of 670 km.

The Via Baltica attracted great controversy in February 2007, as its planned route is to take it through several areas in Poland of great natural value. Most controversial is the Augustow bypass, which would take the route through the wetlands of the Rospuda Valley, the last area of its kind remaining in Europe, and an area protected by EU law as part of the European Natura 2000 Network. The Polish environment minister Jan Szyszko has agreed to the route, despite receiving on the 28th Feburary 2007, a warning from the European Commission that Poland would be fined for going ahead with the route. Campaigners have proposed an alternative, cheaper route.

Interesting international bickering stuff, especially since there is no EU Constitution and the treaty has not been ratified.
