In a landmark move aimed at fortifying critical energy infrastructure, six northern European countries bordering the North Sea have signed an agreement today to enhance protection measures for underwater assets, including gas pipelines and electricity cables.

The accord comes in response to the 2022 explosions targeting the Nord Stream gas pipelines, incidents that were classified as acts of sabotage but remain unsolved. Denmark, Belgium, Britain, Germany, Norway, and the Netherlands are the signatories to this pivotal agreement, which underscores the shared commitment to safeguarding vital energy transit routes in the region.

' Aagaard's sentiment echoes the broader vision of transitioning towards sustainable energy sources while ensuring the security and resilience of existing infrastructure. Key provisions of the agreement include a comprehensive review of current protection and resilience measures, as well as the establishment of mechanisms for sharing crucial information among participating nations.
