The plan calls for the creation of a "Climate Change Fund", which recognizes the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline as "an essential component for environmental protection in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern" and will contribute to the completion of the project.

For this purpose, a specialized commercial enterprise will be created, with the help of which German companies, which may be threatened by US sanctions, will be able to interact with the Russian side without having a direct relationship to Nord Stream 2.

Earlier it became known that the Federal Office for Shipping and Hydrography of Germany (BSH) confirmed the approval of the laying of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline in German waters for December.

In mid-November, Bloomberg reported that the US authorities intend to impose sanctions against insurance and certification companies cooperating with Russian ships in the completion of the construction of Nord Stream 2.

The head of the Eastern Committee of the German Economy, Oliver Hermes, called the US threats to the FRG companies participating in the construction of the "Nord Stream 2" unacceptable for partners.
