The German government in March 2018 could issue a permit to build Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, CEO of national joint-stock company Naftogaz Ukrainy Andriy Kobolev has said.

"According to our information, in March the German government plans to issue the final permit to build Nord Stream 2," he said.

Kobolev also said that the work to attract a western partner to the management of the Ukrainian gas transport system (GTS) should be speeded up due to this fact.
