European Commission Won't Appeal the Court Decision on OPAL Gas Pipeline
In early September, the European Court of Justice in a Polish lawsuit annulled the decision of the European Commission of 2016, according to which Gazprom could use OPAL capacities to 100%, 36 billion cubic meters per year. Now the Russian holding can use only 50% of the pipeline’s capacity. Following this decision, Gazprom cut OPAL supplies and began increasing gas transit to Europe through Ukraine.
OPAL is a branch pipe connecting Nord Stream with the gas transmission system of Central and Western Europe. Gas enters Germany to the border with the Czech Republic.
