At Oxford's St.Antony College a panel discussion took place about how the EU and Gazprom view the future development of the European gas market. One thing became clear the importance of European competition law was likely to affect the future of relations between Brussels and Moscow. Also, that hopes that Gazprom would loose its monopoly during the current political cycle in Russia, will have to wait for a decision after the next federal parliamentary elections.
Participants were:
Dr Andrey Konoplyanik, Adviser to Director General, Gazprom Export, Professor, Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas, Russia’s former Deputy Energy Minister, former Deputy Secretary General, Energy Charter Secretariat. http://www.konoplyanik.ru/
