Gas transportation on the Russian pipeline “Northern Stream-2” has not yet been approved. This was stated by Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel, reports Reuters.
Politician said that at the same time the Russian government performs all contracts for the supply of energy. “As far as we know, Russia fulfills its contractual obligations for gas supply,” the Agency of the word Merkel leads.
Gas prices in Europe at the bidding on October 6 approached the mark of $ 2,000 per thousand cubic meters. Saxo Bank experts believe that the launch of the “Northern Flood-2” would help to reduce prices. If the upcoming winter is cold, and gas supplies will not increase, Europe is waiting for “gloomy and expensive time.”
Russia performed all the technical points for the introduction of “Northern Flow-2” into operation. Also in early October, the Danish energy agency reported that “Northern Stream-2” meets the requirements and can start work.
