“In fact, there was great confidence that the Danish government would still issue this permission. Because practically along this route Nord Stream-1 passed. And, firstly, the Danish government gave permission, and secondly, there were no environmental problems during the operation of the Nord Stream-1 pipeline, which is also important, ”Ananskikh explained.
The MP also recalled that recently the Danish government gave permission to pass through its territory a pipeline from Norway to Europe, therefore, as the parliamentarian emphasized, there were no grounds to refuse the Nord Stream 2 consortium.
“Unfortunately, they pulled for a long time, probably, someone asked them about it. I am glad that common sense has triumphed. As Miller said that everything is on schedule, and there is no doubt that Nord Stream 2 will be commissioned on schedule — on time, on time, and its work will be fully operational, ”Ananskih concluded.
Earlier it became known that Denmark issued a permit for the laying of Nord Stream 2.
In October, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak noted that the chances of obtaining Danish permission to lay a gas pipeline section remain.
