(Agencies) The Spanish Ministry for Environment has accepted as viable the underwater fibre optic cable project that is to unite Europe, Africa and Asia, running from the UK to India along 15,000 kilometres (first reported here). Named the Europe India Gateway (segment 2), the project will not have to go through environmental impact reports at least in its trajectory through Spanish waters, according to the ministry, as "it will not produce significant environmental impact with its corrective measures." Nevertheless, the promoting company, Verizon, will have to obtain all the necessary licenses and permits as established by law.
