PIPELINE BUCHAREST, Sept 10 (Tanjug) - Yugoslav Minister of
Economy and Home Trade Petar Trojanovic, Romanian Minister of Industry
and
Resources Dan Ioan Popescu and Croatian Economy Ministry's Deputy
Minister
in charge of energy Roman Nota signed in Bucharest on Tuesday a protocol
on
setting up the Constanta-Pancevo-Omisalj system of inter-governmental
oil
transport.
The pipeline would go through Romania, Yugoslavia and Croatia
and
link the Black Sea oil terminal near Constanta with the Adriatic oil
terminal near Omisalj, with the possibility of extension to Trieste,
Italy,
and connection with the Pan-Alpine main oil pipeline, which means that
Europe would have a good access to Caspian oil.

tonnes
of oil, 6 million of which will be used by Yugoslavia, Romania and
Croatia.
