BERLIN, June 17. /TASS/. The Economy and Energy Committee of German’s Bundestag calls on the country’s government to consider the response to US sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project, the Committee said in its press release on Wednesday.

"Representatives of all fractions expressed unanimity in respect of incompatibility of such extraterritorial sanctions with the international law," Committee Chairman Klaus Ernst said, cited in the release. "The call [was formed] on the federal government to develop and present a commensurate response from the part of Germany and the European Union," according to the press release.

It was reported earlier that US lawmakers introduced a bill expanding sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project to the Senate for review.

The Nord Stream 2 project contemplates construction of two gas pipeline strings with the total capacity of 55 bln cubic meters per year from Russia to Germany across the Baltic Sea. The gas pipeline is 93% complete to date.
