“The judgment was made on August 25, 2021.

Nord Stream 2 AG refused to satisfy his demands.

At the moment, Nord Stream 2 AG is studying the decision for a possible appeal, "- says the report of" Gazprom "under IFRS.

Earlier, a court in Germany decided not to exempt Nord Stream 2 from the EU Gas Directive.

Nord Stream 2 AG took note of the court's decision.

According to the pipeline operator, the rejection of the exemption application "demonstrates the discriminatory impact of the amended EU Gas Directive."

In May 2019, the revised Gas Directive entered into force in the EU, according to which the norms of the Third EU Energy Package apply to pipelines passing in the maritime economic zone of the countries of the united Europe.

These norms oblige the operator to reserve up to 50% of the gas pipeline capacity for pumping fuel from alternative suppliers.
