How to create outlook signature

as if stretching a pipeline across the Baltic Sea weren't difficult enough a new EU ruling makes it even harder the Nord Stream 2 pipeline belongs to Russian energy monolith Gazprom as does the gas it will transport but a new EU law bans the pipelines owner from also supplying the gas with one exception if Nord Stream 2 had been completed early this year the law wouldn't apply it won't be finished until 2020 though so is Nord Stream 2 over Germany wants to prevent that the Baltic pipeline will supply it with 55 billion cubic meters of natural gas from Russia each year that's needed to guarantee German electricity supplies once coal and nuclear energy have been phased out so the government here wants its own new law it states the German end of the pipeline has already been completed it merely needs connecting to the undersea stretch for Berlin the pipeline as such was completed before the deadline so it doesn't fall under the new EU restrictions does that mean the multi-billion euro Nord Stream 2 project can be saved Berlin might not get away with that as easily as it imagines and because that sounds very complicated let's bring in GW SK Brady for more okay first of all the German Bundestag wanted to discuss the issue last night but didn't what happened exactly so they did want to discuss this issue but Parliament the sitting was actually called to an end prematurely and that was due to an objection by the far-right AFD and they actually brought into question the quorum of the German Bundestag so technically or officially the German Bundestag only has a quorum when more than half of MPs are present but of course when debates are taking place during the late hours this one was expected to take place at around 2 a.m. of course it's difficult to get those kind of numbers of MPs present so this isn't anything new something that the AFD has brought into question on previous occasions as well so this was much more to do with a technicality in in the German parliament as opposed to the content of this law all right if Berlin eventually manages to get that new law through well itself the Khan promisee that will definitely not lean for this issue without it's without further problems of course there is still a lot of objection particularly and not only from the EU but also from the US they've Washington previously said that Germany would be a hostage to Russia if this pipeline went ahead and of course there are also the concerns of countries like Poland and Ukraine as well about what potential problems they might face once this pipeline possibly comes into action next year okay Brady they're reporting for us on the Nord Stream 2 controversy thank you so much
