Germany Russia Pipeline A sign reading „Nord Stream 2 Committed. Reliable. Safe.“ hangs above a painted map at the natural gas receiving station in the Lubmin industrial estate in Lubmin, Germany, Tuesday, Nov 16, 2021. Germany’s network regulator said Tuesday it has suspended its procedure to certify the operator of a new pipeline that would bring Russian gas to Germany under the Baltic Sea because of an issue with the company’s legal form.
