Show transcript

Yes, hello, different topic, but for Anna-Kaisa, I was wondering if you could give us an update on the Druzhba pipeline mission,

whether the experts have reached any conclusions and whether there has been an agreed date for repairs. Thank you.

I do not have an update to give you on that mission.

Other questions on this matter for Anna-Kaisa, go ahead.

It's a follow up for the public broadcast of Ukraine.

So have Ukrainian authority, given the access to this mission to,

to observe the Druzhba pipeline?

If not, do you know the reasons and what's the next step,

on the side of the Commission to tackle this issue with the Ukraine things?

For the time being, I do not have these updates to give. Yes, go ahead. But sorry, the question is quite easy.

This is, is this mission still waiting for the green light in Kiev or are they somewhere else now?

Or, yeah, are they on the spot to check the pipeline? Thank you.

I do not have that information to give at the moment. Other questions, go ahead.
