“133 votes were cast, 355 votes are required for a decision,” RIA Novosti quoted the chairman of the Bundestag.

It is noted that a new meeting is scheduled for 9:00 on November 8.

It is clarified that at the moment the agenda of the meeting on Friday does not include consideration of the bill on amendments to the gas directive.

The bill provides for the possibility of exceptions to the requirements of the third energy package for pipelines from non-EU countries. These rules will apply to the final part of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

Earlier it became known that trilateral expert consultations on gas supply to the European Union, Ukraine and Russia will be held in Brussels on November 8.
