(ANSA) - MILAN, 17 SEPTEMBER - Germany's decision to take control of the German activities of Rosneft "is illegal and, in fact, is an expropriation of assets that follows the situation created intentionally by the relevant EU sanctions and by the actions of the German regulators and Polish with the aim of seizing the assets ".
This is what the Russian oil giant said in a note after yesterday's announcement in Berlin.
Faced with a decision that Rosneft considers "timeless", the Russian group is threatening "legal action" to defend the interests of its shareholders.
For Rosneft, expropriation represents "a violation of all the fundamental principles of a market economy and of the civil foundations of a modern society built on the principle of the inviolability of private property".
The Russian group, which claims to have continued "to fully fulfill its commitments on the supply of petroleum products", recalls having made investments in its German refineries for € 4.6 billion.
