Senior German lawmaker urges Berlin to reconsider stance on Nord Stream 2 pipeline project

MOSCOW, Dec 12 (Sputnik) Norbert Rottgen, the chairman of the foreign affairs committee of the German federal parliament, called on Berlin to reconsider its position on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project, which he said had "strong geopolitical" overtones.
"Germany in particular must urgently reconsider the controversial Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project ... Nord Stream 2 is hardly a purely commercial project; it has strong geopolitical implications," Rottgen wrote in an article to The Guardian newspaper.
The politician called on Russia to guarantee that it would continue shipping gas through Ukraine, while the European Union must ensure that Russian gas pipelines on its territory fully "complied with the bloc’s competition rules."
