Dutch grab of arctic oil angers Greenpeace

Environmental advocacy group Greenpeace said it was frustrated the Dutch government was putting its oil interest above that of protecting the arctic.

Campaign director Joris Thijssen said a court in Amsterdam ruled in favor of letting oil from a field from the arctic Russian north land at the port of Rotterdam. The ruling, the environmental group said, was absurd.

Greenpeace has objected to Russian efforts to extract oil from the arctic, saying it poses a risk to the pristine ecosystem there.

"But apparently the court considers the interests of Gazprom's oil tanker higher than that of protecting the Arctic," Thijssen said in a statement Sunday.

Gazprom Neft, the oil division of Russian energy company Gazprom, confirmed in September a tanker filled with 200,000 barrels of oil was shipped to markets in northwest Europe. It was the second tanker of oil delivered from the Novoportovskoye field at the Yamal Peninsula.

Greenpeace last year used its Arctic Sunrise vessel to gain access to the Prirazlomnaya rig, deployed by Russian energy company Gazprom for work in the country's arctic waters. Two freelance journalists and 28 Greenpeace activists, dubbed the Arctic 30, were held by Russian authorities on piracy charges last year.
