US puts pressure on EU over 'Nord Stream-2'
The pressure of US sanctions affects the policy of Denmark and the European Union on Nord Stream 2, said the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Nord Stream 2 AG, Gerhard Schroeder.
At the same time, he stressed that Washington is pursuing "not only friendly motives."
"...First of all, we must think that this type of business is bad. American partners clearly show that they want to export LNG to the European market more than ever," Schroeder added in his speech at a working breakfast within the framework of the St. Petersburg World Economic Forum SPIEF.
He noted that Copenhagen's policy is contrary to existing European law and hinders the supply of sustainable fuels.
Mr. Schröder also expressed hope that after the end of the elections in Denmark there will be an opportunity for a constructive dialogue on this issue.
In addition, the chairman of the board of directors of Nord Stream 2 AG said that the pipeline will be built, despite the difficult conditions of the project, and he also criticized the changes that have been introduced to the EU Gas Directive.
