Ottawa decided to revoke a temporary permit issued to allow the return of the turbines to Germany.
Canadian authorities reinstate sanctions on turbines for the Nord Stream gas pipeline. It was announced on Thursday, December 15, at Twitter Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly.
“The Government of Canada has decided to withdraw a temporary permit issued to allow the return to Germany of the turbines being repaired in Montreal,” Joly wrote.
Recall that in July, Germany asked Canada to return the Nord Stream turbine, which should “remove the turbine excuse from Putin” not to pump gas to Europe. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine called on the Canadian side to reconsider this decision,
Later it became known that Canada decided to send a Siemens turbine for the Nord Stream to Germany. This is what Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources Jonathan Wilkinson said. According to him, the issue of transferring the turbine was discussed in both Kyiv and Berlin, so in any case, one of the allies “will be hurt.”
The turbine, built in Canada by Siemens Energy AG, was sent to Montreal for repairs but was stuck there because of sanctions on Russia’s aviation industry announced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government. Canada qualified it as a dual-use item and refused to return it after repair. Gas supplies from Russia have reportedly fallen by 60% due to turbine problems, hampering Germany’s plans to increase stocks for the winter. At the same time, Berlin fears the complete cessation of Russian gas supplies.
