The construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline was fully completed on 10 September.
The first line was filled with technical gas.
In early October, the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that the procedures for certification of the gas pipeline are underway, but it is difficult to foresee what "legal squiggles" could be used by opponents of this project.
On September 22, the Polish state-owned oil and gas company PGNiG received the right to participate in the certification procedure for the Nord Stream 2 operator by the German Federal Grid Agency.
According to PGNiG, the operator Nord Stream 2 AG does not meet the requirements.
