/Forex & Finance/ On Thursday in Sochi the chairman of the government, the chairman of a consignment "Uniform Russia" Vladimir Putin has met the ex-German chancellor, the committee chairman of shareholders Nord Stream AG Gerhard Schrцder and head of Gazprom Alexey Miller. Then Putin’s application for readiness of Russia to consider the offer on expansion of number of the European prtners of the project has followed. Till now about it speech did not go. Though upon the project for a long time already the multinational.

This Sochi meeting was not announced in advance. It is obvious, that it became a consequence of the last claims of Poland and Estonia to the project. Poland has suggested to make its repeated ecological examination.


«Both Russian, and German, and the Dutch firms which participate in the project, Poles give to the decision of a problem of ecology a maximum of efforts» used that in the middle of August has been decided hardly as an occasion to new requests to change route Nord Stream around the Danish island Bornholm. As a result the route will not lie any more on an economic zone of Poland, and will pass in economic zones of Russia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Germany, and also in territorial waters of Russia, Denmark and Germany.

Formally Poland could not require already anything, but its request of repeated examination was supported by Estonia. And some deputies of the Estonian parliament have promised to introduce on repeated consideration the administration bill "About marine border". He assumes expansion of borders of territorial waters of Estonia on three n miles (5,5 km). Hypothetically it means that at acceptance of such administration bill to territorial waters of Estonia on what there will pass the pipeline will depart.

On the one hand, not the fact, that already Finland will support Estonia and will agree to cancel that neutral corridor in width in 6 miles on which pipes and it is planned to put. But also to be mortgaged on a rationality of the Estonian parliament and support of Finland was risky - terms of building of the pipeline compressed and they even are rather difficult for observing now. It is necessary to consider still, that the European Union requires, that Russia had the complete consent of all interested countries before began building.
