The expert stressed that Burbock did not provide any new information because the certification was suspended last fall.
He explained that "an additional amount of documents was requested from the operator of this gas pipeline regarding the newly formed German subsidiary."
Pikin said that "as soon as the documents are received by the regulator, the certification process will resume."
“It will take up to two more months from the German regulator, then it will go to the European regulator - there it will take another two to four months,” the specialist added.
According to him, "no one will speed up this process."
“Europeans are apparently not afraid of gas prices.
Therefore, everything goes within the framework of a bureaucratic procedure, ”concluded the interlocutor of RT.
Earlier, Burbock explained the suspension of the certification of Nord Stream 2.
According to her, the German government in the coalition agreement stated that projects in the field of energy policy must comply with German and European law.
According to her, this also applies to Nord Stream 2.
