Gazprom, Russia’s state-controlled gas monopoly, yesterday told European Union countries not to block its international ambitions, warning that it could redirect supplies to other markets.
俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司(Gazprom)昨日告诉欧盟(EU)各国，不要阻碍其国际扩张的雄心，它警告称，可能将天然气转而供应其它市场。该公司是俄罗斯国有的天然气垄断企业。
In a statement after a meeting between Alexei Miller, Gazprom’s chief executive, and EU ambassadors, the company said: “It is necessary to note that attempts to limit Gazprom’s activities in the European market and politicise questions of gas supply, which in fact are of an entirely economic nature, will not lead to good results.”
