PGNiG to take control over Yamal pipeline?

A dispute lasting a few years between Poland and Russia regarding control over EuroPolGaz, the operator of the Yamal gas pipeline is likely coming to an end, Puls Binzesu daily reported. A certain decision is to be made on March 9, when the general meeting of Gas-Trading S.A. will approve the selling of EuroPolGaz shares to Poland's PGNiG, according to the daily. Gas-Trading has been in possession of four percent of the holding's shares. EuroPolGaz is a joint venture of PGNiG, Gazprom and Gas-Trading. The Yamal-Europe natural gas pipeline is a 4,196 kilometer long pipeline connecting gas fields in Western Siberia and in the future on the Yamal Peninsula (Russia) with Germany.
