Ich gehe davon aus, dass sich diese beiden (BP und ROSNEFT) schon vorher geeinigt haben. Die, in Russland nicht unwichtige Zustimmung der Regierung liegt sicherlich vor, da ROSNEFT faktisch ein Staatsunternehmen ist. Für BP wäre das ein Ausweg aus dem Trauerspiel "TNK-BP" und die Milliarden kann man sicherlich sinnvoller investieren. Und man wäre dann wieder frei für eine Kooperation mit ROSNEFT in der Arktis. |
