WARSAW, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Poland's anti-monopoly office
UOKiK said on Wednesday it has fined Gazprom over 29
billion zlotys ($7.61 billion) for building the Nord Stream 2
pipeline without the watchdog's approval.
UOKiK has also imposed a 234 million zloty fine on the
remaining five companies financing the pipeline, which would
double Russia's gas export capacity via the Baltic Sea.
Nord Stream 2 is led by Gazprom, with half of the funding
provided by Germany's Uniper and BASF's
Wintershall unit, Anglo-Dutch company Shell, Austria's
OMV and Engie.
