Europe's top court on Tuesday overruled an EU decision allowing Russia'...
WARSAW/BRUSSELS - Europe’s top court on Tuesday overruled an EU decision allowing Russia’s Gazprom to ship more gas via the Opal gas pipeline, which links its Nord Stream pipeline to Germany.
Germany, the main beneficiary of the expanded pipeline, known as Nord Stream 2, redoubled its defense of the project on Tuesday, while Poland said it threatened gas supplies to central and eastern Europe. But the European Court of Justice found in favor of a challenge brought by Poland and its state-run gas firm PGNiG, arguing that it would lead to a drop in volumes via competing pipelines.
Germany, however, argues the project makes good business sense. “We need it,” deputy economy minister Thomas Bareiss told an energy conference on Tuesday.
