According to Vitrenko, the pipeline should not be certified, as it "does not comply with EU standards."
“We are clearly against this approach.
It makes no sense to certify only a part of the pipeline, this is a mockery of the EU rules, and we hope that this will not happen, "- quotes the head of Naftogaz Euractiv.
He believes that the entire pipeline "should be filled with alternative gas suppliers."
Earlier, the German regulator suspended the certification of Nord Stream 2 AG as an independent operator of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
Later it became known that Nord Stream 2 AG, the operator of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, decided to establish a subsidiary in Germany in order to meet the country's requirements for certification of the German part of the pipeline.
The head of the board of Naftogaz, Yuri Vitrenko, called on the United States to impose sanctions against the subsidiary company Nord Stream 2 AG, which is being created in Germany.
