Nord Stream is currently in advanced discussions with the authorities of the four other countries through whose waters the pipeline will pass: Russia, Finland, Sweden and Germany.
“The granting of the Danish permit is an important milestone for the Nord Stream project. It is the result of extensive environmental and routing studies, close cooperation with the authorities and consultations with stakeholders and experts over the course of several years,” said Matthias Warnig, Managing Director Nord Stream.
“We are very pleased that this permit has now been granted. The project is firmly on schedule. We have developed several solutions in all countries according to their requirements and we engage in an ongoing intensive exchange with the responsible authorities. This provides a sound basis for further steps in the process,” Warnig added. “Our Nord Stream gas pipeline project is the most advanced of the new pipelines which Europe will require to meet its energy security and climate protection targets over the coming decades.”
