Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk said that Ukraine asked the European Commission to launch an investigation in connection with the project of the gas pipeline “Nord Stream-2″ TV channel “112 Ukraine”. Kiev considers this project a political and “anti-European».
«We have filed a complaint with the Secretariat of the Energy Community of South East Europe on the” Nord Stream-2 “. We believe that it is a political project, “- said Yatsenyuk at a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister of Slovakia Miroslav Lajcak.
According to Yatsenyuk, Kyiv asked the European Commission to launch an investigation and stop the” anti-European. Anti-Ukrainian, anti-Polish and antislovatsky project. ” The Head of Ukrainian Government stressed that Kiev wants to build transparent gas market in Europe.
In December 2015, Yatsenyuk has urged the European Union to block the construction of the “Nord Stream-2″. Yatsenyuk then claimed that the project “is not in the interests of neither the EU nor Ukraine».
The agreement on the establishment of the gas pipeline system “Nord Stream-2″ was signed by “Gazprom” and the representatives of some European companies (BASF, E. On, Engie, OMV and Royal Dutch Shell) in September 2015. In recent months, a number of European leaders and high-ranking EU officials criticized the project.
On the political background of the “Nord Stream-2″ spoke, in particular, the presidents of Poland and Lithuania – Dalia Grybauskaite and Andrzej Duda. President of the European Council, Donald Tusk said that “North Stream-2″ does not comply with the EU’s diversification of supplies. Yatsenyuk and Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico was assessed by the loss of its termination of gas transit through its territory to Europe € 2 billion and “several hundred million euros”, respectively.
