Alexander Sitnikov on RBC TV: EU-Gazprom antitrust settlement talks can take agesOn April 23, 2015, Alexander Sitnikov, Managing Partner at the VEGAS LEX law firm, gave an interview to the Levchenko.FAQ program on the RBC TV channel. The EU began an investigation of Gazprom in 2012, after the European Commission accused the Russian company of abusing market competition. However, experts believe that the probe is part of the European strategy to lessen its dependence on Russia’s gas as well as a way of putting political pressure on Russia. What are the chances of this new attack on Gazprom’s market positions?* In his interview with presenter Andrei Levchenko, Mr. Sitnikov spoke about the legal implications of the European Commission proceeding with the case against Gazprom and discussed the probability of Gazprom eventually having to pay the European Commission’s claims. The program, Gazprom: A Matter of Billions, went on air at 16:37 on April 23, 2015.
