German authorities have given permission for work to resume on a subsea pipeline bringing natural gas from Russia.

BERLIN -- German authorities gave permission Friday for work to resume on a subsea pipeline bringing natural gas from Russia that's been the target of U.S. sanctions threats.

The U.S. government has argued that the Baltic Sea pipeline would make Europe more dependent on Russian gas and hurt European energy security. The Kremlin has responded by accusing Washington of trying to promote sales of its own liquefied natural gas. “Naturally we want to talk about this topic with our colleagues in Washington as soon as the new administration is in office,” he said.

Russian state-controlled natural gas company Gazprom has positioned a ship to resume work on the multibillion pipeline, which was suspended after a Swiss firm pulled its vessels out of the project amid threats of U.S. sanctions. Because the Russian ship is of a different type than the Swiss vessels, Germany had to issue fresh authorization.
