[PaulMartin + 2]

Denmark wants Nord Stream 2 to present environmental and security assessments for a south of Bornholm in the continental shelf area. This does not mean that the Danish authorities have already decided which route they might approve or might not approve regarding the controversial German-Russian pipeline. Ture Falbe-Hansen, spokesman for the Danish Energy Agency (DEA): ”There are no details regarding a timeline. When the Nord Stream 2 company provides the Danish authorities with an environment impact assessment it has to go through the normal procedure with public hearings etc. A decision from the Danish Energy Agency will depend on this process.”
