The request of German ecologists who asked to stop the construction of “Northern Flow-2” will not lead to an automatic stop of the work, RIA Novosti reported in the press service of the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH).
The Office intends to carefully check the application, clarifies TASS with reference to the regulator representative. “Application arrived today and carefully studied,” explained in the institution.
We are talking about the request for activists from the Deutsche UmwellFe organization (DUH), which insist that the gas pipeline laying is suspended. They require BSH to withdraw a decision to build and operate “Northern Flow-2”.
The lawsuit against the construction of the gas pipeline in early May, the Environmental Organization NABU was supplied. There they believe that it destroys the habitat on the seabed.
In Russia, these complaints were called fetaned. Director of the All-Russian Institute of Nature Andrei Peshkov believes that they do not have anything to do with concern about ecology.
It was assumed that the Northern Stream-2 will be commissioned at the end of 2019, but this was prevented by the restrictions on the United States. Now the gas pipeline is ready by 95 percent, the chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel was made for the speedy completion of construction.
