MOSCOW, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell is
asking the U.S. Congress not to enact sanctions aimed against
Russia-led Nord Stream 2 undersea gas pipeline to Germany, said
Cederic Cremers, head of Shell's business in Russia.
A U.S. Senate committee passed a bill in July to place
sanctions on companies and individuals involved in building the
Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia to Germany that the
Donald Trump administration says would strengthen Moscow's
economic grip on Europe.
Germany's Uniper and Wintershall, Anglo-Dutch
Royal Dutch Shell, Austria's OMV and France's Engie
are the financial partners of Russian gas giant
Gazprom in the project.
