EU Commission: No impact on security following Nord Stream gas leaks

The European Commission said on Tuesday there was no impact on security following the gas leaks reported at the Nord Stream pipeline, as reported by Reuters.

"At this stage, it's very premature to speculate on what the causes are," a Commission spokesman told reporters. The member states are looking into this issue, we will remain in close contact with them, but it's really not the moment to speculate."

Earlier in the day, Nord Stream AG announced that they have detected damages at three lines of the Nord Steam pipeline system and added that it was impossible to estimate when the transportation infrastructure would be restored.
