Nord Stream 2 AG has submitted a third application regarding the route of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline in the waters south of Bornholm.
The application was filed based on the decision made by the Danish Energy Agency on March 26, 2019.
"Today, more than two years after submitting its first application for a route through Danish waters, Nord Stream 2 AG has submitted a third application. The third application, together with the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), covers a route in the Danish exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the waters south of Bornholm," the company said in a statement, as reported by the Ukrainian TSN news service on April 15.
The application was filed based on the decision made by the Danish Energy Agency (DEA) on March 26, 2019.

It is noted that the EEZ border between Poland and Denmark was previously disputed and therefore the area was not available for any project developer. An agreement has been reached between the two countries, which, however, has not yet been ratified by Poland.
It is emphasized that on March 27 Denmark did not give permission for the construction of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline along the Baltic Sea bottom in its exclusive economic zone.
Earlier, on March 12, the European Parliament adopted a new report on political relations between the European Union and Russia, calling for the construction of Nord Stream 2 to be stopped and be ready to introduce new sanctions.

"Nord Stream 2 reinforces EU dependency on Russian gas supplies, threatens the EU internal market and is not in line with EU energy policy, and therefore needs to be stopped," the report said.
In February, Russians threatened European countries with gas difficulties if they blocked the Nord Stream 2 construction.
