The parliament of the German federal state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern will discuss on Thursday, January 7, the creation of a fund in support of the Nord Stream 2 project. This is reported by TASS with reference to the representative of the press service of the parliament Dirk Lange.
According to him, at least there will be a discussion of this issue. “The vote will be held if the government submits an application,” Lange added.
The goal of the fund, called Climate and Environment Protection MV, is to help German companies circumvent US sanctions. It is assumed that project participants will interact with each other through this structure, which in theory will protect them from restrictive measures.
The gas pipeline from Russia to Germany was supposed to be completed at the end of 2019, but this was prevented by US sanctions. Due to the restrictions, the Swiss company Allseas withdrew from the project, providing the pipelayer. Russia had to look for another vessel, and the project delivery date was postponed indefinitely.
