PRODI VERSO GAZPROM?

"A Russian daily said Monday that Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller could offer Romano Prodi, who steps down as Italy's premier in early May, a top post in South Stream AG, a European gas pipeline project.

South Stream, a joint project between Russia's monopoly Gazprom and Italian oil and gas giant ENI, is expected to pump 30 billion cu m of Central Asian gas to Europe annually from 2012, at an estimated cost of $14 billion. Kommersant citing a government source said: "Analysts believe that Gazprom will do exactly as they did with Nord Stream and former Germany chancellor Gerhard Schroeder who heads the shareholders' committee," the post is roughly equivalent to board chairman. A Gazprom publication confirmed that Miller is due to meet with Prodi during a business trip to Italy on Monday". (RIA NOVOSTI)

L'articolo di Kommersant:

"Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller meets in Rome today with Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi to deliberate on the South Stream project that provides for laying a gas pipeline from Russia to Italy worth $14 billion. The sources say Miller may urge Prodi to take over Swiss-incorporated South Stream AG. According to analysts, Gazprom is following the scenario tested on Nord Stream, where German ex-chancellor Gerhard Schroeder chairs the holders’ board.

It emerged that Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller goes to Rome April 28 to meet with Italy’s Prime Minister Romano Prodi, who steps down in early May. The visit was confirmed by Gazprom, and the sources say that its purpose is to propose to Prodi to head the South Stream project, which Gazprom implements 50/50 with Italian Eni. Alexei Miller and Eni CEO Paolo Scaroni inked in the Kremlin November 22, 2007 a supplement agreement to the understanding memorandum of June 23, 2007, specifying the Swiss incorporation for South Stream AG. Eni and Gazprom will own the venture pari passu, but the share of Italian company may narrow if any other parties join the project, Scaroni said at that time. South Stream is projected to pump 30 billion cu meters starting from 2013. Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary and Slovenia have already sealed intention memoranda to join South Stream. Miller is expected to deliberate on all range of questions in Rome, starting from the asset swap with Eni and Enel to details of the progress in project implementation".
