The CSIS Energy and National Security Program is pleased to host Ulrich Lissek of Nord Stream 2 and Dr. Hans-Ulrich Engel of BASF SE to discuss the Nord Stream 2 project, which aims to supply additional Russian natural gas to European markets via Germany. Though supporters of the project emphasize its commercial rationale, critics argue that it increases European dependence upon Russian gas against EU regulations and amidst the ongoing EU competition case against Gazprom and geopolitical tensions over Ukraine.
