Baltic Sea gas pipeline gets German approval

Baltic Sea Pipeline

Germany - German authorities granted formal approval Monday to build a pipeline to transport natural gas under the Baltic Sea from Russia, meaning that just one permit from Finland is still outstanding, the company running the project said. Nord Stream AG said Germany's Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency granted a permit to build a 19-mile (31-kilometer) stretch of the pipeline in Germany's exclusive economic zone.

Nord Stream already has a second German permit covering the 31-mile (50-kilometer) section in German territorial waters, and has permits from Denmark, Sweden and Russia, through whose waters the pipeline will pass.
