“The European Commission is in close contact on this issue with both Germany and Canada, as well as Siemens, to ensure that we are well informed about the situation,” the European body said in a statement.
Earlier, Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection Robert Habek urged Canada to resolve the issue with the delivery of a turbine for the Nord Stream gas pipeline.
After that, Reuters reported that Canada had decided to return the turbine to Berlin.
Leading expert of the National Energy Security Fund Igor Yushkov, in an interview with the 360 TV channel, commented on the prospects for the operation of the Russian Nord Stream gas pipeline after the return of the German gas turbine by the Canadian authorities.
