Along with the study, Nord Stream 2 AG has filed an application with the Agency requesting permission for construction.

The public will take part in discussing a 175-kilometer section of the planned Nord Stream 2 offshore gas pipeline to the northwest of the island of Bornholm in Denmark’s exclusive economic zone.
