In Brief: Orlen; Anwil; PIPP; Rotch demands compensation for Lotos bid

Around 300 domestic petrol stations, including about 150 in cooperation with PKN Orlen, intend to form a new network under the auspices of Polish Liquid Fuels Chamber (PIPP). The new group is currently working on the network's logo and charter. (Parkiet, p.6) ...The UK's Rotch Energy, whose offer to buy the Lotos Group was rejected, has demanded the reassessment of its offer or $13 million from the State Treasury in compensation for the losses it incurred during the Lotos privatization process. Furthermore, it has threatened Nafta Polska with a lawsuit in a British or Dutch court if its demands are not met. (Puls Biznesu, p.10) E.B.
