Gazprom-phobia escalates in Brussels
Putin's message to Europe: "I don’t understand at all. How will you heat your houses? You do not want gas; you are not developing nuclear energy. Will you get your heat from firewood? But even for firewood you will need to go to Siberia..."

 | Russia has urged the European Commission to observe the rights of its energy giant Gazprom. The country’s Energy Ministry said its interests as a supplier and investor and protected by international agreements. The day before, members of the European Commission have searched offices of a number of EU energy companies that are one way or another linked to Gazprom. The Russian giant itself referred to this as common practice being in strict conformity with Brussels’ orders concerning the protection of competition. EU commissioners claim it is too early to talk about any violations. Voice of Russia’s Polina Chernitsa has this report.A rigorous search was carried out at offices of Gazprom Germania GmbH, Vemex in the Czech Republic and Lithuanian-based Lietuvos Dujos AB, all of which are Gazprom’s subsidiaries. Apart from that, commissioners visited the offices of German energy giants RWE and E.ON Ruhrgas. This is a totally unprecedented action, according to head of the International Energy Policy Center Yury Solozobov. Source: Voice of Russia. |
