Cederic Kremers, Chairman of Shell in Russia, believes that the project is very important for energy security in Europe.
“Business understands that politics, in this case, is clearly a hindrance and does not allow development. Because an expensive liquefied gas from America is being imposed and normal fair conditions for business are being lost. Merkel has already expressed this, expressing her extremely negative attitude, ”Jabarov said.
The senator is confident that statements from other parties will gradually follow.
“Austria also spoke out against the discrimination of Nord Stream 2 ... Because, in fact, the Americans are tinkering in matters to which they have nothing to do - in the affairs of Europe and European industry and energy. I think that the number of such statements will only increase, especially when Nord Stream 2 is completed. And he will be completed, ”he concluded.
Earlier, Shell said that, despite US sanctions, it supports the Nord Stream 2 project because it believes that it is very important for Europe’s energy security.
