DUESSELDORF, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Nord Stream 2 said that
Wednesday's German court decision to throw out a challenge it
brought last year highlighted the "discriminatory effect" of the
European Union's amended Gas Directive.
The Duesseldorf Higher Regional Court said the Gazprom-backed
project, which plans to carry gas from Russia to
Germany under the Baltic Sea, is not exempt from European Union
rules that require the owners of pipelines to be different from
the suppliers of the gas that flows in them.
Nord Stream 2 had taken note of the decision and would
communicate further steps in due course, it said.
