nland rejects pipeline environment plan

HELSINKI, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Finland is not satisfied with Nord Stream's plans for an environmental assessment of its planned gas pipeline project, Finnish national broadcaster Yle said on Friday.

"Finland does not approve Nord Stream's assessment plans for the gas pipeline project's environmental risks," Yle said on its website, citing sources. "Finland wants the Gulf of Finland to be examined as one ecological entity."

But Nord Stream said the company has not received any strong criticism. "Finland proposed some changes," A Nord Stream spokesman said. "These changes would not be different from what we have planned to deliver for Finland to assess."
