Motion for a European Parliament resolution calling for an investigation into the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline
The European Parliament,
– having regard to Rule 149 of its Rules of Procedure,
A. whereas EU Member States Finland, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Sweden, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have launched the NATO military operation Baltic Sentry to protect critical infrastructure in the Baltic Sea;
B. whereas the proposed actions of Baltic Sentry are based on the unproven assumption that Russia is behind acts of sabotage, including the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline;
C. whereas the Council of the EU stated on 28 September 2022, ‘We will support any investigation aimed at getting full clarity on what happened and why, and will take further steps to increase our resilience in energy security’;
1. Stresses that responding to a criminal act without first conducting a thorough, impartial and evidence-based investigation to determine responsibility is inconsistent with the EU’s fundamental principles of democracy and the rule of law;
2. Calls for an investigation into all forms of suspected sabotage of critical infrastructure in the Baltic Sea, beginning with the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline on 26 September 2022.
