Gazprom seeks 30 percent of European market
Gas monopoly Gazprom wants to boost its share of Europe's gas market to 30 percent from 25 percent by buying into gas storage, gas marketing and power companies.
The target was cited in an export strategy document that management presented for approval at a meeting of Gazprom’s state-controlled board, BarentsObserver reported.
