PGNiG to open sales office in London

Polish state-controlled natural oil and gas company PGNiG has decided to open a sales department in London that will trade liquefied natural gas. It is set to be launched in January 2017, the company said. The project will be managed by PGNiG's German subsidiary, which already has permits to trade gas in the UK. The office activities will focus on short and mid-term horizons. The strategic decisions and long-term contracts will remain beyond PGNiG's competence.
