“I’m sure that today’s not tomorrow, as the legal processes regarding the OPAL gas pipeline develop, everything will return to its place and this gas pipeline will be used in full,” he said on the Russia 24 television channel.

In addition, the head of the Ministry of Energy called the decision of the European court politically motivated.

In mid-September, Germany announced that the decision of the EU court on the OPAL gas pipeline was political in nature and was taken with the aim of partially ousting Russia from the natural gas market

On September 10, an EU court overturned a decision of the European Commission to change the regime for using OPAL.

In accordance with it, the Russian company had the exclusive right to 50% of the gas pipeline capacity and could acquire another 40% at auctions.
