OMVJF - Denmark clears Nord Stream 2 to operate in its waters

The Danish Energy Agency gives the Gazprom-led (OGZPY) Nord Stream 2 consortium permission to operate its Baltic Sea natural gas pipeline on the Danish continental shelf."The permit has been granted on a number of conditions to ensure a safe operation of the pipelines," and commissioning of the gas link can take place "when at least one of the pipelines has been tested, verified and when relevant conditions in the construction permit and the operations permit have been met," the agency says.Gazprom's Nord Stream 2 partners are Royal Dutch Shell ([[RDS.A]], [[RDS.B]]), Germany's Uniper (UNPPY) and BASF (BASFY), Austria's OMV (OMVJF) and France's Engie (ENGIY).The German government has come under pressure to pull out of the project following the near fatal poisoning of Russian dissident Alexei Navalny.
