«Nezavisimaya writes»: «Last week, three sensitive blows were inflicted on the international positions of «Gazprom». The first and most substantial of them was inflicted by the Europarliament, which on 22 April adopted the third «energy package» of the plan for liberalization of Europe’s energy market.

Defeat on all international fronts may signify the collapse of the conception of the foreign expansion of the concern».
