Attempts to Hamper Nord Stream 2 Project Implementation Contradict Trade Rules - Kremlin

Attempts to hinder implementation of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project contradict trade rules and regulations, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.

MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 20th August, 2018) Attempts to hinder implementation of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project contradict trade rules and regulations, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.

On Saturday, the Wall Street Journal reported citing US officials that Washington might sanction companies participating in the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project in the coming weeks.

"We have already said that attempts to counteract a purely commercial international project completely contradict and categorically violate all trade rules and regulations and WTO rules. It is not else but this, and it cannot be camouflaged as anything else, there are no other motives," Peskov told reporters.
