laoziBy "they" I mean Gazprom (GZPFY.PK), and by "it" I mean pricing long term European gas contracts off of a spot gas index, rather than an oil index:
Norway's Statoil ASA signed a 10-year gas supply deal with Germany's Wintershall AG, based on spot gas prices that challenged Russian gas export monopoly OAO Gazprom, which insists on oil-linked prices despite European Union opposition.
Statoil agreed on Tuesday to supply Wintershall, the natural gas unit of chemicals firm BASF SE, with 45 billion cubic metres of gas worth $17.4-billion (U.S.) at current prices, in a deal aimed at creating a flexible gas market in northwestern Europe. ***
Вот так любимый и обласканный Газпромом Wintershall решил, что дружба дружбой, а табачок врозь.
Просто какой-то немецкий Брут.
