Germany welcomes EU gas compromise on Nord Stream 2 regulation
2/13/2019
BERLIN, (Reuters) - Germany’s government welcomes the compromise the European Union has reached on a gas directive setting the legal framework for Russia’s Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, a government spokeswoman said.
A spokesman for the economy ministry added it was a “substantial aspect” that the gas supplier and the operator of the pipeline must not be identical.
Representatives of the European Commission, the European Parliament and of the 28 member states on Wednesday reached a provisional deal on new rules governing import gas pipelines which should lead to a new law in the coming months. (Reporting by Tassilo Hummel; editing by Thomas Seythal)
