The planned Russian-German natural gas pipeline project Nord Stream 2 is currently the 鈥渕ost controversial and difficult question of EU energy security鈥�, said Wolfgang Ischinger, Chairman of the Munich Security Conference (), at the German energy industry conference BDEW Congress in Berlin. Ischinger supported foreign minister Sigmar Gabriel鈥檚 criticism that US Senate plans to further tighten economic sanctions on Russia could threaten Europe鈥檚 energy security. 鈥淏ut don鈥檛 think for one second that we will have the support from our Polish, Baltic or other partners on this issue,鈥� said Ischinger. If the EU wanted a common foreign policy 鈥渨hich deserves that name and will be respected by Washington, Moscow and Beijing鈥�, it needed a 鈥渃redible common energy policy鈥�, said Ischinger. Otherwise, it would be easy for other powers to 鈥減lant discord鈥� within the EU.
