Draghan mu phlanaichean airson canàl a thogail air Corran a Vistula

Draghan mu phlanaichean airson canàl a thogail air Corran a Vistula
Tha Riaghaltas na Pòlainn airson canàl a thogail ann am fìor cheann a tuath na dùthcha, air pìos talamh air a bheil crìoch na Ruis gu Kaliningrad. Fo na planaichean, tha a' Phòlainn ag ràdh nach ruig soithichean na dùthcha cead na Ruis tuilleadh airson a dhol gu cala. Bheir e cuideachd buannachd do chuid de bhailtean a tha feumach air leasachadh, a rèir an riaghaltais. Tha dragh air cuid sa choimhearsnachd bheag a tha faisg air làimhe gun dèan seo milleadh air an àrainneachd agus gnìomhachas na turasachd - air a bheil iad fhèin gu mòr an eisimeil. A thuilleadh air an sin, tha dragh ann mun chàirdeas eadar a' Phòlainn 's an Ruis. Tha an t-Aonadh ·¡Ã²°ù±è²¹ch a-niste a' beachdachadh air a' chùis, ach tha a' Phòlainn a' cumail oirre le a plana gus seo a thogail.

Concerns over Vistula Spit canal plans

Tha Polish Government has published plans and started work on a canal in the far north of country, on a piece of land divided by the Russian Border to Kaliningrad. According to Poland, the current plan means that Polish ships would no longer require permission from Russia to dock at Polish ports. They say the plans would also bring a benefit to smaller towns that are in need of development. There are some concerns in a small village near the site that this will ruin the environment and the tourism economy - on which they are utterly dependent. There are also concerns about  Polish - Russian relations if it goes ahead. The European Union is  investigating the plans, but the Polish Government is pressing ahead.
