OREANDA-NEWS  Matthias Warnig, Executive Director of Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline operator Nord Stream 2 AG, will leave his post.

"Matthias Warnig will end his activities as Executive director of Nord Stream 2 AG and will retire at the end of March 2023," the company said.

In the future, Nord Stream 2 AG will be managed by a committee under the leadership of the administrator of Transliq AG.

The US Treasury Department at the beginning of last year also imposed restrictive measures against Nord Stream 2 AG and its executive director.
