The German Federal Network Office threatened to the Nord Stream 2 AG Operator of the Nord Stream 2 AG on the start of the start of the proceedings in the event that it cannot provide information on the compliance of the gas pipeline by the norms of the legislation of the European Union (EU). It is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the press service of the department.
According to the German regulator, at the moment all the technical points for the conduct of the “Northern Flow-2” are completed. All certificates needed under the land legislation of the Mecklenburg-Front Pomerania region, where the pipeline will come out from under the ground, were also issued, told in the department. It is noted that in the near future, the first pipeline thread can already be launched, so the federal network department requested from Nord Stream 2 AG to transfer the relevant information and, if necessary, to bring evidence that all the requirements and regulations of the European Union will be performed during the operation of the “Northern Flow-2” .
Interlocutor RIA News added that in this case we are talking about the standards concerning non-discriminatory access to the network and the integration of the infrastructure in the German market.
In early October, the Danish Energy Agency reported that the “Northern Stream-2” meets the requirements and may begin work. At about the same time, Nord Stream 2 announced that the first thread of the gas pipeline began to fill in gas as part of testing to achieve the required volume and pressure.
