This was reported to Interfax by the press secretary of the agency Fite Wolf.
“The company has submitted all the documents, according to the law, we have up to four months of time for consideration and adoption of a decision, then the decision must be submitted to the European Commission,” Wolff said.
He stressed that we are not talking about the launch of the gas pipeline, only about its certification and compliance with the EU gas directive.
The construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline was fully completed at 08:45 Moscow time on September 10.
Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said that the timing of commercial gas supplies via Nord Stream 2 depends on the position of the German regulator.
