Though this project has enormous advantages over its competitors -- at least twice the capacity, refineries and consumers along its route, partial construction under way, and an existing "pipe-to-pipe" connection to a line that crosses the Alps in Trieste -- its far less advanced than others.
Iako ovaj projekt ima ogromne prednosti pred konkurentnim projektima -- barem dvostruko veće kapacitete, rafinerije i potrošače uzduž rute, djelomično započetu izgradnju i postojeće "cijev-na-cijev" spojeve na vod koji prelazi Alpe u Trstu -- mnogo je manje napredan od ostalih.
