Weber writes to Gabriel and Cañete: Nord Stream II threatens EU security

Our Chairman Manfred Weber, in a letter to German Economy Minister Gabriel and EU Energy Commissioner Cañete, writes, "the project should not only be excluded from European financial support, but also unconditional and full compliance with Energy Union goals and EU law must apply."
