“On November 20, the German government filed a complaint against the decision of the European Court of Justice with the European Court,” TASS quoted the agency as saying.

They noted that the filing of a complaint does not have an action suspending the decision of the court.

On September 10, an EU court overturned a decision of the European Commission to change the use of OPAL.

In accordance with it, the Russian company had the exclusive right to 50% of the gas pipeline capacity and could acquire another 40% at auctions.

In mid-September, Germany announced that the decision of the court of the European Union was political in nature and was adopted with the aim of partially ousting Russia from the natural gas market.

Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak expressed confidence that the situation with the limitation of the volume of natural gas pumped by Gazprom will “return to its place” and the gas pipeline will be used in full.
