Juncker says hands tied on Russia pipeline
By EUobserver
European Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker said after the summit in Brussels on Thursday that there was not enough appetite among member states for his officials to negotiate the terms of a new Russia-Germany gas pipeline, Nord Stream 2. "I don't feel we'll have unanimity on this issue in the coming months," he said. He said "quite a number" of states did want EU-level intervention, amid concerns over Russian energy bullying.
