Poland slaps 6.45 bn euro fine on Gazprom over Nord Stream 2
For pipeline linking Russia to Germany
07 October, 11:52
(ANSA-AFP) - WARSAW, 07 OTT - Poland's anti-monopoly watchdog
on Wednesday said it was demanding Russian gas giant Gazprom pay
a 6.45 billion euro ($7.58 billion) fine over the Nord Stream 2
pipeline linking Russia to Germany. The regulator said it was
also imposing a 52 million euro fine on five other companies,
including British-Dutch giant Shell, involved in building the
controversial link. UOKiK warned in 2016 that, if built, Nord
Stream 2 could hamper competition and so refused to approve the
consortium. UOKiK then launched an antitrust procedure against
the companies in 2018. (ANSA-AFP).
