Complaining of “a deliberate attempt to delay the project’s completion,” Nord Stream 2 AG filed an application Monday for a third alternative route around Denmark‘s Baltic Sea island of Bornholm. Russia, Finland, Sweden and Germany have issued permits for the 1,220 km pipeline which is almost half built. Responding to Russia’s impatience, Denmark Energy Agency says environmental impact statements take time. The new route goes through waters that once were contested by Poland and Denmark. Although a settlement was reached, Poland has not yet ratified it.
