Delivery will occur Nord stream through Germany.
Russian “Gazprom” can get access to the European gas pipeline bypassing Ukraine.
The relevant question today, October 28, will consider the European Commission, writes Reuters. The Agency’s sources in Brussels say that Gazprom may be allowed to use more than half of capacities of the OPAL gas pipeline, which connects the German Baltic coast with Eastern Europe.
So that the Russian monopolist will be able to upload to its European pipeline gas from its own gas pipeline “Nord stream”, built to bypass Ukraine. According to the forecasts, the solution can operate until 2033.
Earlier it was reported, allegedly the European Commission will allow the Russian Federation to use more than 50% of the capacity of the OPAL gas pipeline. Now there is a limit of no more than 50%. Another 10-20%, “Gazprom” had to provide to other vendors. These are requirements of the European legislation.
We will remind, from the beginning of the military aggression of Russia against Ukraine, the EU has previously limited cooperation with Moscow, regarding the “Nord stream”. Ukraine buys gas directly from Russia for almost a year. On the territory of Ukraine the Russian gas is delivered only to Europe.
