According to the German official, permission to operate the gas pipeline has already been received. Currently we are talking about certification.
“The Federal Network Agency is responsible for this . All questions about the deadline for the end of certification should be sent there,” Ungrad evaded the answer, quoted by RIA Novosti.
Earlier, the German regulator suspended the approval procedure due to the need to create a subsidiary company for Nord Stream 2 AG in Germany within the framework of EU legislation and submit a new application for certification as an operator on its behalf.
