France in work with others to seek possible changes in Nord Stream 2 pipeline

France expects to support a revised directive on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project, said the country's foreign ministry on Thursday, adding it was working with partners including Germany on possible changes to a text on the matter.

Germany has been pressuring other European capitals to block an EU proposal to regulate Russia's Nord Stream 2 pipeline ahead of a key meeting on Friday, diplomatic sources have said.
