Socar同Snam收购Desfa受阻

Azerbaijan state oil company Socar is still interested in becoming a stakeholder in Greek gas network operator Desfa, but the government needs to lower the price tag, the company CEO said September 5.“They [the government of Greece] made changes that contradict the tender procedures; the agreed terms for privatisation were changed and now we are waiting the explanation from the government,” Socar president Rovnag Abdullaev told reporters.Socar was the winning bidder of a Desfa international tender and the company is determined to defend its claim for completion of the deal, Abdullaev said.  Socar agreed to buy 66% of Desfa for €400mn ($446mn) in 2013. After being ordered by the European Commission (EC) to surrender a 17% share to a certified European operator, Socar agreed to resell part of its 66% to Italy’s Snam. “Snam is with us in all talks with the Greece government,” he said, adding that the deal with the Italian company will only be finalized only after resolution of the current situation.
