The Baltic States have sided with Ukraine, Poland and Slovakia in denouncing the Nord Stream 2 project as a threat to EU security. During a joint press conference in Riga earlier this month, Estonian Prime Minister Taavi Roivas spoke on behalf of the leaders of all three Baltic States in expressing serious concern over Gazprom’s pipeline project. Yesterday, European Commissioner for the Energy Union, Maros Sefvocic, was clear in his words when he said the European Commission will assess any such project against the European regulatory framework on its own merits and only support infrastructure projects that are in line with the core principles of the Energy Union.
With all this criticism, the project faces an uncertain future. UK based news agency NewsBase spoke about it with Sijbren de Jong. The full text of NewsBase´s publication Former Soviet Union Oil & Gas Monitor (FSUOGM) can be accessed here (subscriber only).
