In the light of improvements made to gas supply contracts between German gas company Ruhrgas and Russian gas producer Gazprom to remove clauses that infringed EC Treaty rules on restrictive business practices (Article 81), the European Commission has closed its investigation. Ruhrgas will no longer be contractually prevented from reselling outside Germany the gas it buys from Gazprom. Gazprom will no longer be bound by a 'most favoured customer' provision with Ruhrgas. |
