Why Poland is afraid of stopping the construction of the Baltic Stream

6

On Thursday 3 June, the Danish Environmental and Food Appeals Board revoked a permit to work on the Baltic Pipe in Danish waters due to insufficient environmental regulation around the facility. Poland fears a halt in further construction of the pipeline.

Copenhagen has no politicaleconomic contradictions with Warsaw, and the probable reason for the revocation of the permit for the construction of the pipeline is exclusively bureaucratic, since in fact Denmark will benefit from the functioning of the Baltic Stream. The Danes simply changed the rules for granting permits for the construction of such facilities, and the Poles will be able to resolve the situation by providing the necessary documents. This is the opinion of Igor Yushkov, an expert of the National Energy Security Fund.



Deputy Foreign Minister of Poland Marcin Pshidach stated his concern about the suspension of the construction of the Baltic Stream. Yushkov believes that one of the reasons for such anxiety is that Poland is afraid of the politicization of the project by Denmark, which, in turn, could be pressured by the Americans.

Polish authorities are looking in Denmark's actions political the background, because they have a stigma in the gun

- said the expert in an interview with the newspaper LOOKspeaking about the attacks of the Poles on the "Nord Stream-2", which they consider a "political project" of Russia.

Igor Yushkov also reminded that the terms of work on the Baltic Stream coincide with the end of the agreement between the Polish side and Gazprom. The new pipeline will not replace gas supplies from Russia in full, but it could become a trump card in the negotiations between Warsaw and Moscow on gas prices.

      Very sad. Now, if they had finished building their pipe to the intersection with SP-2, with what pleasure Miller would have forbidden to cross it. He would have drank blood from them. And so they did not have time to spend money. The Danes broke off. tongue

        Why are you and Miller, he will not prohibit anything, but he will approach the approval process with the utmost care laughing
        Can you tell me what the Poles will be drowning in winter? There is no supply contract with Russia. If Miller does not come to the auction, their Russian pipe will be empty.

        It remains to wait for the molecule of freedom or buy the same gas in Russia, but at a higher price in the form of LNG.
        It looks like Ukraine will soon be forgotten, a new clown has appeared in Europe, more fun than the past winked

    Tellingly, a pipe from Polish wells in Norway to Denmark has already been built. This means that Denmark can receive gas from there. They solved their question. And why do they need the pipe to go further?

    In general, it is not clear - why build it? Norwegian wells have been in operation since the 70s. How many are left there? Until the gas pipeline is completed, there may already be nothing to pump.
