Gazprom under EU
antitrust investigation
- Lithuania rejoices
When the European Commission announced Tuesday night that it is investigating Russia’s OAO Gazprom for potential abuse of its dominance in the natural gas markets of eight Central and Eastern European states, Lithuania likely rejoiced more than others. The small Baltic country has been at the forefront of the European Union’s struggle against overdependence on Russian natural gas supplied by state-owned Gazprom.
“This is very important, first of all for Lithuania,” Energy Minister Arvydas Sekmokas told Real Time Brussels in an interview Wednesday. Lithuania, along with several other small EU countries, depends on Russia for virtually all its gas supplies, putting Gazprom into an unusually strong position.
