You want something like this as the resulting LaTeX code:

\begin{frame}[label={sec:org5359014}]{Comparisson}
\begin{columns}
\begin{column}{0.45\columnwidth}
\begin{block}{Pros}        % <- superfluous environment
\begin{problock}{Problock} % <— argument required
\begin{itemize}
\item New.
\item Other Pro.
\item Additional Pro.
\end{itemize}
\end{problock}
\end{block}
\end{column}

> #+LaTeX_Header: \newenvironment<>{problock}[1]{%

The =problock= environment takes 1 argument, but you supply none.

You can supply an argument 
#+begin_problock    
@@latex:{Probloc}@@ 

This will be ignored for non-LaTeX exporters.

But even here you have to block environments, the outer environment generated by =*** Pros= and the inner problock environment.

You can get rid of the outer block environment by removing

   :BEAMER_env: block


The resulting org code will look like this:

   :PROPERTIES:
   :BEAMER_col: 0.45
   :END:
#+begin_problock Pros    
@@latex:{Probloc}@@ 
 - New.
 - Other Pro.
 - Additional Pro.
#+end_problock

Also, there is #+attr_latex:

#+attr_latex: :options {Problock}
#+begin_problock
#+end_problock

Best,

Right. It works too.

Thanks

Thanks. That part would have been very difficult to realize for a
latex-beginner.

    Axel> You can supply an argument #+begin_problock @@latex:{Probloc}@@

Tested. And works.

    Axel> But even here you have to block environments, the outer environment generated by =***

The other option could be pasing empty as parameter.

Thanks for the help.
