BERLIN—Swiss-based Nord Stream 2 AG is entitled to challenge EU gas rules, an adviser to the EU’s top court said on Wednesday, saying that the court should annul last year’s ruling against the pipeline operator.

The finding, if confirmed by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), would give Nord Stream 2, a project led by Gazprom, another avenue in its legal battle to boost its gas sales to Germany.
