BERLIN/FRANKFURT, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Environmental activist
group Nabu on Monday said it had filed a complaint with the
German maritime authority, BSH, to temporarily halt construction
work of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline in German waters.
The complaint against BSH's move on Friday to expand the
period during which construction work can theoretically take
place automatically halts any work on the project, BSH
confirmed.
Focus earlier reported that two environmental groups, Nabu
and DUH, had filed complaints and that this was effectively a
freeze on construction work.
