Final round for Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline issue

The German Federal Network Agency will soon decide about the future of the Nord Stream 2 gas
pipeline.
Opponents believe the pipeline “impairs competition on the European gas market and at the same
time weakens security of supply”. They want the EU directive for the internal gas market to be
applied.
In the meantime, the controversial Russian pipelaying vessel expected to complete the construction of the
gas pipeline is now sailing towards the waters of Northern Spain. It left Nakhodka in February and has
since travelled through Southeast Asia and around the Cape of Good Hope.
