Vatican Radio agreed to reduce some short-wave transmissions to comply
with tough Italian environmental regulations.

Vatican Radio direction said that the station would either move or
stop using one of its 31 SW antennas...

Vatican Radio has already reduced its MW xmissions in what officials
call a 
"goodwill gesture"

An Italian prosecutor has charged Lombardi and two other Vatican
officials with damanging the environment.  They are scheduled ot go on
trial in the fall.

The Vatican says the xmissions are in line with less strict
international standards and are shielded from prosecution under a 1929
pact that establisted Vatican city as an independent city-state
