Kurtyka: Nord Stream 2 already obstructs development of LNG deliveries
New German government, without social democrats, may correct its statement towards Nord Stream 2 – expects vice-minister of energy Michał Kurtyka in an interview with Politico. However, he added that it will depend on Germany only. He announced that Poland is preparing legal analyses that are supposed to strengthen Warsaw’s reasoning in an argument of the controversial pipeline that is supposed to be built on the bottom of the Baltic Sea.
Kurtyka said that Poland wants the European Commission’s negotiation mandate to include a clause that „Nord Stream 2 should be fully in accordance with the third energy packet”. Vice-Minister also stressed that the perspective of launching Nord Stream 2 already causes obstructions for LNG suppliers.
