Nina-Marie Guettler, a representative of the German Ministry of Economy, said that the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline will not be put into operation until its certification is underway. She told about it at a briefing in Berlin.
Meanwhile, the operator of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, Nord Stream 2 AG, has not yet commented on the ongoing legal and regulatory procedures regarding the project. This was reported by “Izvestia”.
Earlier, the leader of the centrist European People’s Party faction, as well as the co-chairman of the Bavarian Christian Social Union, Manfred Weber, said that Germany should close the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline project if Russia attacks Ukraine.
Meanwhile, the head of the Ukrainian company Naftogaz Yuriy Vitrenko described Germany’s decision to allow the operator Nord Stream 2 to form a subsidiary as a mockery”. He believes that “Nord Stream-2” does not comply with the rules of the European Union, and therefore it cannot be certified. He also condemned the idea of issuing a license only for part of the gas pipeline.
