Cooperation Prevails

“Denmark grants permit for construction of Nord Stream 2 pipeline in its waters”

So, good sense, or at least the sense of cooperation, has prevailed over potential antagonism and spiteful obstruction.

This is good, even with this subsequent proviso which is really only a standard condition – “Denmark’s permit to lay Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline can be contested — DEA press service”.

So, international cooperation is still possible in a polarised world, although there is also a sense of self-preservation and economic benefit in this particular case.
