Nord Stream 2 company applies to Finnish govt for building Nord Stream 2 pipeline

Swiss company Nord Stream 2 AG, a subsidiary of Gazprom, filed an application with the Finnish authorities earlier this week for permission to build the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline in Finland’s exclusive economic zone, Kaleva daily said on Friday night.


The application was filed with the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment on Monday. Under Finnish law, permission of this kind requires the government’s consent.

Nord Stream 2 AG executives said that in Finland the procedure of obtaining the permission follows the procedure of assessing impact on the environment.

The latter procedure was completed in July when the coordinating agency endorsed the ecological impact report as satisfactory.
