EU Court Upholds Restrictions on Nord Stream 2 The European Court of Justice has rejected operator Nord Stream 2's appeal of the decision in a lawsuit against EU gas rules passed in 2019, so restrictions on the Russian gas pipeline remain in place, according to a court decision published on Thursday. We are talking about EU laws that require that the gas supplier not simultaneously control the gas pipeline through which it is supplied. In addition, part of the pipeline capacity should be made available to other suppliers. The European Union extended these requirements in 2019 to gas pipelines coming from non-EU countries. Exceptions were given only for pipelines whose construction was completed before May 23, 2019. Nord Stream 2 does not fall under this exception. Nord Stream gas pipeline operator 2 a. C tried to challenge the new rules, but the Court of First Instance of the European Union rejected his claim in November 2024. Now the Supreme Court of the European Union has confirmed this decision.
