Nord Stream notes the decision by Estonian government
Sept. 20, 2007 | Zug | Regarding today’s decision by the Estonian government concerning the survey permit in its exclusive economic zone, Nord Stream released the following statement:
Nord Stream takes notice of the decision by the Estonian government.
The details associated with this decision must be carefully studied before a further evaluation can be made.
As part of the international consultation process in accordance with the Espoo convention, Finland had requested a survey of a potential route further south in the Gulf of Finland in order to minimise environmental impact. Nord Stream accommodated this request with this survey application.
Nord Stream is crucial to providing Europe with a sustainable supply of natural gas and has been declared a priority project by the European Union. Nord Stream will continue to work with countries bordering on the Baltic Sea to ensure that the pipeline will be constructed in a timely manner in accordance with the highest possible security and environmental standards.
