EU Energy Law and Nord Stream 2 Pipeline Project: from Applicability to Legislative Action

Reviews the development of the EU's Nord Stream 2 Pipeline Project and the amendments it seeks to Directive 2009/73. Examines the Commission's initial responses to the project, the Directive's position, the historical approach to such importations, and the current regulatory framework on such pipelines. Discusses the magnitude and impact of the proposed legislative reforms, and whether their aim is not to complete, but to complicate, the project.
