In Vilnius, figured out how to collect a multimillion fine from Gazprom

52
Lithuania intends to collect a fine from Gazprom in the amount of 42 million euros abroad, since in Lithuania the Russian company has no property, reports RIA News Statement by the Minister of Energy of Lithuania Zigimantas Vaičiūnas.





The agency recalls that in December 2016 of the Lithuanian Central Administrative Court ordered Gazprom to pay Lithuania a fine of € 35,561 million due to the fact that the corporation violated the 2004 agreement of the year and did not agree to sign a gas exchange deal with Lietuvos energija. Thus, the court upheld the decision of the Competition Council, which imposed this fine in October 2014 of the year. In November, 2017, the amount of this fine by Gazprom, including penalty, reached 42 million euros.

On Wednesday, at a government meeting, it was decided to apply to foreign countries with a request to evaluate the property of a Russian corporation.

The first step on our part was to search and verify whether there is any property of the corporation Gazprom in Lithuania. Obviously, there is no such property. Today it was decided to activate the second step - to appeal to foreign countries,
told Vaichiunas to journalists.

According to him, the Ministry of Energy of Lithuania “will have to evaluate potential countries that have the property of a Russian corporation within a month and submit recommendations to the government.”

The Competition Council in June 2014 decided that by refusing Lietuvos energija an agreement to exchange gas in 2013-2015 years, Gazprom prevented the Lithuanian company from signing contracts with other gas suppliers and thus violated the terms of the permit for the concern to acquire 34% of Lietuvos shares Dujos, issued by the Competition Council in 2004. Then it was reported that the Lietuvos energija deal with one of the Western European companies would reduce the cost of buying gas, and this would also correct electricity prices for consumers.

                Such an interpretation is applied by the West to any countries if their interests suffer. If their interests are respected, then, in their opinion, it is considered the usual practice of business turnover ... And nothing personal, only business ...

                  Gazprom prevented Lithuanian company from signing agreements with other gas suppliers

                  Held by the hand?
                  I think, personally for Lithuania, in order not to “violate competition”, to equate the cost of gas for Lithuania with gas of American companies. And the media widely advertise that "The Lithuanian government forced Gazprom to raise gas prices for its country, as if Gazprom had not resisted. This is a crushing victory for the Lithuanians!". After that, Gazprom will lose Lithuania for the period until the new government is adequate.
                  And then you can get "new victory of the new Lithuanian government, which forced Gazprom to lower the price of gas to a pan-European level".

    PMCs are not PMCs, but Gazprom has its own guards, they have permits for automatic weapons in the Russian Federation, you won’t be able to take them abroad, but when you try to capture a particularly dangerous strategic object, they can kick back painfully, according to some internal instructions on the security of the object bailiffs can just not let

So everyone will rush to “search” to take from Gazprom in favor of Vilnius, and if Russia wants to, then tomorrow there will be horns and legs from the economy of this limitrophic economy! And no one seems to want to spoil relations with Gazprom in favor of some kind of “booger” - after all, in the west of their problems “above the roof”! And let them be afraid that Russia may sue the Baltic States, which was purchased by Emperor Peter -1 from Sweden, for a "hard coin", because according to international law, this Treaty is still valid because The Russian Federation is the legal successor of the Russian Empire with all the ensuing consequences!

    Guys, read the comments, everything is certainly so patriotic, condescending, ironic. And what is the essence of the matter? Gazprom threw someone and decided not to pay? " due to the fact that the corporation violated the 2004 agreement and did not agree to sign a gas exchange deal with Lietuvos energija". Gazprom will become. Scrap company and top management overwhelmed. Moreover, it is worthless in terms of intellectual level. It relates to Russia only because it sometimes pays some crumbs from the shoulder of the shoulder, calling it taxes. Do not flatter yourself in relation to earnings - tears. But mostly they’re pumping the "national treasure" into their own pocket. I understand that we are all patriots and all that, tricolor is sewn to the sofa and beer is only poured into glasses with Russian symbols ... but weren't overdone with sugar? Gazprom’s attitude, or is it mainly the small employees of this respectable organization, who serve the leadership? Can anyone clarify what really happened there?
