Commitment summary
Nord Stream Data and Information Fund
Nord Stream AG, in its capacity as the Operator of one of the major infrastructure projects in the Baltic Sea has been actively involved in conducting numerous surveys in the Baltic since 2005. During this period the Company has gathered a wealth of unique data on the Baltic Sea for the purposes of preparing and submitting the relevant documentation in pursuit of corresponding permits for the construction and operation of the natural gas pipelines.
Nord Stream AG generally intends to offer the produced data and the data to be gathered during the monitoring programme for the purpose of supporting various kinds of activities under the BSAP. However, some of the data might be classified and confidential under applicable local laws and regulations and as such require prior clearance by the relevant authorities, as the case may be. As Nord Stream fully respects such classifications, all data and information to be made available for the purpose of BSAP implementation will be unrestricted or cleared by the authorities, and will be specifically tailored by the Nord Stream Data and Information Fund to help deal with Baltic Sea challenges.

Milestones
1st Milestone
2010 February 03
Milestone met: Nord Stream has established its internal working group to deal with the specific Data and Information Fund matters and held meetings with HELCOM and NGOs to clarify data compatibility issues and further steps forward. Given that Nord Stream’s operations will be controlled from its headquarters in Zug, Switzerland, it was decided to operate the Data and Information Fund from the Zug offices as well. Dedicated personnel are working to revise all incoming survey and monitoring data and convert them into a usable format for the Fund’s data portal.
