Poland and Germany seized Gazprom’s assets
The German government has decided to nationalize Gazprom’s former subsidiary, SEFE (Securing Energy for Europe), which owns the largest underground gas storage facility in Western Europe, Rehden. The agency justified this move on the imminent insolvency of SEFE, which would endanger the security of supplies in Germany. And Poland deprived Gazprom of managing part of the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline. Thus, the country’s authorities transferred the share of Russian Gazprom to EuRoPol GAZ, which owns the Polish section of the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline, under compulsory control to avoid paralysis of decision-making in this company and ensure the safety of critical infrastructure.
