"Nord Stream-2" to help solve the energy problems of the European Union.

The gas pipeline "Nord Stream-2» plays "a vital role in meeting the energy needs of the countries of the European Union". This was stated by head of the department of public relations of the project Ulrich Lissek in a letter published today in the newspaper "Financial Times".

"Nord Stream-2" will increase the security of energy supply of the EU and will provide greater flexibility in gas supplies in the framework of a common energy market without any cost to the taxpayers of Europe - said Lissek. - Implementation of a new gas supply project will lead to the expansion of natural gas infrastructure and interconnections (in this area) and provide the benefits of competitive markets of gas to the additional consumers in more countries of the EU.
