Further meetings are planned between Russian energy giant OAO Gazprom
(GAZP.RS) and European Union regulators after the company's submission of
proposals to address antitrust concerns, the European Commission said
Wednesday.
Gazprom last Friday submitted draft proposals to address regulators' complaints
over its pricing and other practices in its contracts with EU member states.
"We received a formal proposal of commitments that we are starting to
analyse and probably we'll need to explore some [...] details in technical
meetings with Gazprom [...]," the EU's antitrust chief Joaquin Almunia
told reporters in
Brussels
. "We
are starting our analysis".
Mr. Almunia said he had held a "constructive" meeting with Gazprom's
director general, Alexander Medvedev, earlier this month.
The EU launched its high-profile probe into Gazprom in September last year,
after raids on the company's offices in September 2011. Days after the EU
announced its investigation, the Kremlin fired back with a decree preventing
the company from disclosing information to foreign regulators without
government permission.
