Brussels is preparing a "legal obstacle" to "Nord Stream-2"
124
The European Commission plans to extend the internal rules of the energy market to offshore gas pipelines. Thus, Brussels intends to regulate the laying of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline in Germany, reports Expert Online with reference to Reuters.
The European Parliament believes that doubling the volume of gas supplied to Germany under the Baltic Sea, bypassing Ukraine, could interfere with Brussels' plans to reduce dependence on Russian supplies, as well as reduce EU support for Kiev.
“All supply pipelines, according to the new amendments to the gas directive, will have to comply with EU rules. They should not be owned directly by gas suppliers; provide equal prices and transparent transactions. Also, providers must provide 10% of bandwidth to third parties, ”the material says.
This proposal will be discussed at a meeting of European Commissioners in Brussels tomorrow.
According to the agency, European officials want the new rules to come into force by the end of 2018, when Nord Stream 2 will also fall under them.
Earlier, Moscow spoke out categorically against Brussels' interference in the Nord Stream project.
