“Gazprom” has called unfounded claims of the European Commission – Regions.ru

“Gazprom” considers unfounded claims made by the European Commission, according to the online company.

April 22 at the official website of the European Commission published a press release, according to which it adopted a “statement of objections” in the ongoing antitrust investigation of “Gazprom” in the European Union.

“The charges against the European Commission claims” Gazprom “considers unfounded. In this case, the adoption of the European Commission” statement of objections “is only one phase of antitrust investigations and does not imply recognition of” Gazprom “guilty of any violation of the antimonopoly legislation of the EU “, – said in a statement.

The company noted that it adheres strictly to comply with all international laws and regulations in the countries where it operates. Work on the EU market, including the principles of gas pricing, meets the standards that are used by other manufacturers and exporters of gas.

“We expect that within the framework of the investigation will be adequately met our rights and interests arising from both EU law and international law, and will be taken into account that the” Gazprom ” , established outside the jurisdiction of the EU, is a company vested in accordance with Russian legislation, publicly important functions and status of strategic state-controlled entities, “- says the report.

“Gazprom” expects to resolve the situation with the agreement reached earlier between the Government of the Russian Federation and the European Commission about searching intergovernmental mutually acceptable solution on the issue of anti-monopoly investigation.
