WARSAW, Mar 1 (PRIME) -- Private Bulgarian gas operator Overgas Inc has joined a court case of Poland’s gas operator PGNiG contesting a ruling by the European Commission on an antimonopoly case against Russian gas giant Gazprom, PGNiG said in a statement on Friday.
The European Commission initiated an antimonopoly investigation against Gazprom in August 2012 and accused it of violating the E.U. competition rules in 2015. According to the authority, Gazprom restricted free supplies to the Eastern E.U. countries by splitting gas markets, preventing diversification of supplies and setting unfair prices.
In May 2018, the European Commission closed an antimonopoly case against Gazprom and obliged the company to ensure a free flow of gas at competitive prices in the Central and Eastern European gas markets but set no fines. PGNiG filed a claim against the decision in October.
