Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Seder in an interview with the Bild newspaper spoke in favor of the earliest possible commissioning of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline.
In his opinion, the opening of the pipeline will be able to stop the rise in gas prices in Europe.
“We need a price brake for the winter and a gas strategy that will provide Germany with fuel supplies. This includes, among other things, the commissioning of Nord Stream-2”, the prime minister said.
Earlier, the German Economy Ministry concluded that the certification of the Russian pipeline would not jeopardize the safety of fuel supplies to Germany and the European Union.
