The State Duma assessed the decision of the Danish regulator on "Nord Stream - 2"

"This, of course, is a positive step (it testifies to the fact. -

) that common sense exists, that European countries are working in the legal field and comply with the legislation that is in effect: both national and European," Zavalny stressed. 

According to the deputy, all obstacles to the construction of Nord Stream 2 are of a political nature. 

The parliamentarian noted that this project only contributes to increasing energy security in Europe. 

“Since the European Union needs this gas pipeline and Russian gas, I am just sure that it will be completed and put into operation,” he concluded.

Earlier, the Danish Energy Agency issued Nord Stream 2 AG a permit to operate Nord Stream 2 on the country's continental shelf. 

The corresponding application was filed by the company in November 2019.
