BRUSSELS, Jul 4 (PRIME) -- The E.U. and Ukraine are to discuss Russia’s Nord Stream-2 natural gas pipeline at a summit on July 9, an E.U. source familiar with the matter told reporters on Wednesday.

“We expect discussions on the Nord Stream-2,” the person said.

The Nord Stream-2 project envisages construction of two lines of a natural gas pipeline with an annual capacity of up to 55 billion cubic meters, running from the Russian shore to Germany under the Baltic Sea. Russian gas giant Gazprom will implement the project together with Germany’s E.ON and BASF, Royal Dutch Shell, Austria’s OMV, and France’s Engie.
