The Canadian government made an exception to repair not one, but six Nord Stream turbines, for Germany, The Globe and Mail reported on July 13, citing two sources in the government.
Canada's decision to return a turbine for the Nord Stream pipeline to Germany has turned out to be a wider exception than originally thought.
The exception to the sanctions will be valid for another two years, and during this time it will be possible to bring up to six turbines to Canada for maintenance and take them back.
According to the publication’s sources, the agreement with Siemens allows the Canadian government to withdraw permission to ease sanctions at any time.
Turbines for the Nord Stream pipeline will be sent for repair to Canada through Germany, which will allow the country to say that it is not violating its own sanctions.
Siemens turbine was sent to Canada for repairs, where it got stuck due to sanctions against Russia's oil and gas industry following its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
On July 11, Russia stopped the Nord Stream gas pipeline for scheduled maintenance. According to the schedule, it should last until the morning of July 21.
