Prime Minister of the Federal Earth Mecklenburg – Front Pomerania Manuela Shwezig in a conversation with the publication Spiegel found the unreasonable preparation of new US sanctions against the “Northern Flow-2”. In her opinion, the gas pipeline is not related to issues of foreign policy.
The chapter of one of the FRG regions added that he was confused with a newly raised theme restrictions on the part of the Congress in the light of the fact that the German government reached an agreement with the American authorities that there will be no new sanctions against German companies.
“Permissions for the pipeline are obtained by the legal way. It can not be that between friends there are threats to sanctions. This is absolutely unreasonable, and I really hope that these attempts to challenge the agreement between the federal government and the US government will stop,” Schwezig emphasized.
She added that it should not be mixed by the construction of the “Northern Flow-2” with foreign policy issues and concluded that the Government of the Earth Mecklenburg – the front pomerania supports this project because it is necessary.
December 1 became known that members of the Democratic Party of the US Congress Senate agreed to consider a package of amendments to the country’s defense budget project, which implies sanctions for participating in the North Stream-2 gas pipeline certification.
