Berlin, Apr 13 (UNI) Environmental Action Germany (DUH) filed a lawsuit with the administrative court of Hamburg on Tuesday to challenge the German regulator's permit to continue the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
In January, the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency authorized the continuation of construction works on the pipeline until the end of May. DUH has repeatedly challenged the decision, with the latest request to annul the permit rejected by the regulator earlier this month.
"Environmental Action Germany filed a lawsuit today against the accelerated continuation of the construction of Nord Stream 2," DUH said, specifying that the goal is to reverse the construction permit during the nesting season of birds.
