MEP Beck: Nord Stream 2 could be disrupted due to US pressure 
Disruption of the Russian gas pipeline Nord Stream 2 “may still occur due to pressure from the United States, France and Italy. MEP Gunnar Beck did not rule out such a scenario in an interview with Lenta.ru.
Beck expressed the opinion that the new gas pipeline would still be launched, since it meets the national interests of Germany. “There is a small possibility that the project may be disrupted not because of the pressure from Poland, but because of pressure from France, Italy and the United States,” Beck admitted, but noted that such an option is still unlikely.
Earlier, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in an interview with the Bild newspaper called on Germany to prevent the launch of the Russian gas pipeline Nord Stream 2. According to him, Germany should stop the certification procedure for the gas pipeline project “for the sake of peace” and not give additional money to Russian President Vladimir Putin by purchasing gas.
On November 16, the German Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) stopped the certification of Nord Stream 2 “. The regulator wants to wait for the project operator, the Swiss Nord Stream 2 AG, to create an independent subsidiary in Germany, which will transfer all the assets and rights in the country. Reuters sources said this could delay the launch until next March.
