Earlier, US Undersecretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland said that the United States had reached an agreement with Germany on Nord Stream 2.
“We are still waiting for the reaction of the European Commission on this issue.
And the completion of the construction of Nord Stream 2 still requires certification for commissioning.
This procedure is carried out by the German regulator, but the European Commission will pedantically monitor it, ”Makogon said in an interview with Forbes.
He did not rule out that the European Commission will appeal the certification if it does not comply with the norms of the Third Energy Package.
“Yes, the situation is difficult, but I would not say that everything has already been lost,” summed up Makogon.
On July 23, EC representative Nabila Massrali announced that the European Commission had received a request from Ukraine to hold urgent consultations on infrastructure and energy security due to the implementation of Nord Stream 2.
