Germany stops the certification of “Nord Stream-2”, – Scholz

Date:

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced the suspension of the certification of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline against the background of Moscow’s recognition of the self-proclaimed “L/DPR”.

He announced this during a joint briefing with the Prime Minister of Ireland Michal Martin in Berlin, reportsHandelsblatt.

“The situation today is fundamentally different. By his actions in the east of Ukraine, Putin violates not only the Minsk agreements, but also the UN Charter, which provides for the preservation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of states,” he said.

AswritesInterfax-Ukraine, Scholz added that he himself asked the Federal Ministry of Economy to withdraw from the Federal Network Agency (the German regulator, – ed.) a report on ensuring energy security.

“It sounds like a technical point, but it is a necessary step so that the certification of the gas pipeline cannot take place now. “Nord Stream-2” cannot be launched without this certification, the chancellor said.

Later, the chairman of the board of JSC “Naftogaz of Ukraine” Yury Vitrenko expressed hope that the Ministry of Economy and Climate of Germany in its further report will recognize that “North Stream-2” poses a threat to the security of gas supply in Germany, and that this will be a reason to refuse the certification of the gas pipeline .

“We hope that this means that the new leadership of the Ministry of Economy and Climate will correct the obvious mistake of its predecessors and in its official conclusion on the impact of Nord Stream-2 on the security of gas supply in Germany will clearly state that Nord Stream-2 poses a threat for such safety. Which will be a reason for the regulator to refuse the certification of this gas pump”, –quotedhis Naftogaz press service.
