Germany takes control of Russian-owned oil refineries

Berlin/LondonCNN Business — 

The German government has seized control of three Russian-owned oil refineries to secure supplies of gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel.

Germany’s economy ministry announced on Friday that it had temporarily taken over Russian oil giant Rosneft’s subsidiaries in the country. Rosneft Deutschland and RN Refining & Marketing account for about 12% of Germany’s oil refining capacity, the ministry said in a statement.

The move was designed to “counter the threat to the security of energy supply,” it added.

Europe has been embroiled in a bitter energy standoff with Russia since Moscow invaded Ukraine in late February, and its imports of Russian oil and natural gas have fallen sharply.

Germany’s Federal Network Agency, which regulates its gas and electricity industries, will control Rosneft’s shares in three refineries: PCK Schwedt, near Berlin, MiRo, near Heidelberg, and Bayernoil in Bavaria.

Fuel for the capital

The Schwedt refinery is particularly important to Germany’s energy needs, processing about 220,000 barrels of crude a day. It is responsible for supplying about 90% of Berlin’s fuel, according to Reuters.

In May, the European Union agreed to ban 90% of Russian oil imports by the end of the year to choke off a vital source of funding for Moscow’s war in Ukraine.

Russia delivers crude oil to the Schwedt refinery via the Druzhba pipeline. The German economy ministry said that it would try to find alternate supply routes.

Shell (SHLX), which owns a 37.5% stake in Schwedt, told CNN Business on Friday that it was “unaffected” by the takeover.

“[Shell] will continue to comply with its contractual obligations in accordance with its own shares,” a company spokesperson told CNN Business.

Shell added that it could not speculate on how Schwedt would continue to operate.

I thought MAGAtards believed anything coming out of CNN to be liberal propaganda and fake news.

[5-Points 2,726]

Why not? Russia can't even handle Ukraine. No way they can take on Germany too.

Hopefully none.  Wearing any political slogan hat makes you look like a loser.  Way too tacky.

The story quoted is out of Foreign CNN from the German ministry.  Actually reporting there. No editorial.  Nice to see.  Wouldn't happen here.

the problem with liberal media is you have to figure out what facts have been omitted and how many.

Pretty much all media.  It's not limited to just liberals.

No, it's led by snarky Euro trash who laughed at Trump when he said it was dangerous for them to rely on Russia for energy.

Ain't that the truth. They didn't listen to Trump and now they are really stirring up a hornet's next in Europe even worse than it was a couple weeks ago.

You don’t think Biden is arrogant? He tells black people they ain’t black. And narcissist? He has hair plugs, fake teeth and plastic surgery.  Autocrat? He’s hiring 87k IRS agents. You don’t read or see much, do you?

"I'm With Her" was one of major Hillary Clinton campaign slogans. But Europe is your friend and you could easily upgrade to a better politician. I would recommend that you get nice "I'm With Her" featuring Marine Le Pen or Giorgia Meloni. Also, keep your eye out, if things go well in Britain, you may want to consider sporting a Liz Truss t-shirt as well. I'm not sure they make any of those yet.

Nah, he isn't narcissist. He's borderline senile and dopey but not a sociopath, which Clownzo most certainly is. Textbook.

What do they need oil for? Aren't they part of the woke go green retardation?
