Germany’s Federal Network Agency has confirmed that the Ukrainian side has indeed asked to be allowed to take part in the certification of Russia’s Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline
This was reported by the Izvestia newspaper, citing a conversation between the German regulator’s spokesman Fiete Wulf and Interfax.
“The agency confirms an application from the National Joint Stock Company Naftogaz Ukrainy and the Ukrainian gas transportation system to be invited to the certification process”, – he said.
The agency representative noted that no decision had been made on this and that all applications received were being checked. At the same time, Wulf drew attention to the fact that all participants of the certification have the right to give their own conclusions on the course of the procedure.
