Interviews
BILD, German
“The time we are living in seems very unstable. Therefore, we are closely watching the evolution of the global economy. At the same time we intend to concentrate on our business and your daily problems. We are aware that the world needs still more energy and we will be able to keep supplying our purchasers with energy as we have been doing over the last decades.” www.bild.de
Channel One Russia
“Russia, Iran and Qatar have taken the decision to form a ‘big gas troika’. This decision has been driven by the logic of the gas market development. The gas market is becoming ever more global. This is due to the advancement of liquefied natural gas production technologies and an increasingly bigger role of LNG worldwide”. www.1tv.ru
NTV Channel
“Last week saw the announcement of the formation of a ‘big gas troika’: besides Russia it includes Iran and Qatar. And although this move was stated to be targeted at projects that are mutually beneficial for the three countries (exact project names will be disclosed in the near future), allegations have emerged in Europe and beyond the ocean that something like a ‘gas OPEC’ is being created and this process is very harmful and fraught with monopolism”. www.ntv.ru
The Financial Times, UK
“At present Gazprom Group accounts for some 6% of the British market. We plan to reach 10% by 2011 and the target for the coming years can be 15% without any acquisitions of local companies.” www.ft.com
