Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) said on Tuesday in Berlin that he had asked the Federal Ministry of Economics to take the necessary administrative steps so that the gas pipeline could not be certified for the time being. "And without this certification, Nord Stream 2 cannot go into operation." It is clear that the situation must now be reassessed, and "all the questions that concern us must be taken into account".
As SPIEGEL had previously learned from government circles, Federal Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Greens) instructed the Federal Network Agency, which reports to him, in a letter on Tuesday morning to withdraw an originally positive certificate, which is decisive for the pending certification of the pipeline.
I'm hoping this hurts. AFAIK a lot of oil comes from and through the Ukraine through these pipelines and this would certainly curtail that oil funding.
