(MENAFN) Russian state energy main gazprom has formally requested German industrial giant Siemens to supply documents permitting the return of a vital gas turbine, which had been blocked at the company’s Canada factory as a consequence of restrictions.
According to the statement by Gazprom, as quoted by Interfax news agency, “On July 15, Gazprom officially requested Siemens to provide documents that, in spite of the current sanctions regimes of Canada and the European Union, would allow the export of a gas turbine engine for the Portovaya compressor station, a critically important facility for the [Nord Stream] gas pipeline, to Russia, and the fulfillment by the Siemens group of companies of its obligations regarding the repair and maintenance of gas turbine engines.”
Gazprom cautioned that failure to give back the turbine would risk the functioning of the Nord Stream pipeline, connecting Russia to Germany, and the provision of natural gas to European clients.
