Following negotiations with his German counterpart Angela Merkel, Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen has declared that his government would not be able to block laying gas pipelines within the Nord Stream 2 project.
According to him, the Danish government does not have appropriate legal capabilities. And yet, the Prime Minister acknowledged that while Denmark cannot hamper the execution of the Nord Stream 2 project, it has all the necessary tools to slow it down.
Also, Lars Løkke Rasmussen has specified that the country's authorities have not yet made a decision on the issuance of a permit for the construction of this pipeline which is intended to supply gas from Russia to Germany.
