The Nord Stream 2 project, which plans to use the original Nord Stream pipeline for 86-percent of the route before branching off, could provide up to 55 billion cubic meters of direct gas supplies from Russian shores through the Baltic Sea to the German coast.
Despite the opposition from several EU states, including Poland, Latvia and the Czech Republic, Germany supports the construction of the pipeline, saying that it would bring more benefits for EU members and provide energy safety and security to the 28-nation bloc.
