Bloomberg: Germany denies accusations of intent to block Nord Stream 2

"While the fate of the pipeline depends on regulators, the government (of German Chancellor Olaf. -

) Scholz has no mechanisms to intervene," RIA Novosti quoted the agency as saying.

The material specifies that there is currently no need for such a guarantee.

Earlier, the German regulator suspended the certification of Nord Stream 2 AG as an independent operator of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

In November, it became known that Nord Stream 2 AG had decided to establish a subsidiary in Germany in order to meet the country's requirements for certification of the German section of the pipeline.

Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, answering a question about the timing of the start of gas supplies via Nord Stream 2, taking into account the suspension of certification, urged not to guess.
