British Rotch Energy wants to proceed with RG privatization

Keyvan Rahimian, the president of the British concern, sent a letter to Economy Minister Jerzy Hausner, who was at the time responsible for the state assets, with a request to meet with the management of Nafta Polska, in its effort to continue the suspended process of the privatization of Rafineria Gdańska (RG). "We also aim to reach an agreement on the schedule for finalizing the sale of RG shares to Rotch Energy," reads the letter. The message was also sent to Prime Minister Leszek Miller and Maciej Gierej, the president of Nafta Polska, which oversees the process of restructuring and privatization of the oil sector. Rahimian emphasized that if the shares are sold to a different investor than Rotch Energy, the company would have to begin legal proceedings to retrieve its $10 million which has already been spent on the preparations for privatization.
