Lots of talk about the benefactor - the European Commission and Mrs. Vestagger's great defense of gas consumers in the CEE. It is true that more favorable terms have been created by the anti-trust settlement, but the professional analysis speaks of a "double bottom".
The truth is that the EC failed to discipline Gazprom, while showing a double standard if we compare the attitude of the "Iron Ladies" in the DG Competition to US high tech firms. Heaven and Earth.
Wondering who is the EC principal partner and ally - the US or Russia?
Bad job Mrs. Vestager. How credible, in your opinion, sound your threats to fine Gazprom with 10 percent of its global income, failing to do so in the face of proven abuses, that you have chose to turn a blind eye on? What is the guarantee that next time there will not be "higher" considerations, again?
