埃及向UFG支付超过20亿美元的费用

    中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社9月5日开罗报道，埃及表示正在“采取一切必要措施”超过20亿美元世界银行下令向意大利 - 西班牙联盟Fenosa Gas（UFG）支付费用，原因是埃及工厂缺乏天然气供应，公司拥有多数股权。

    埃及石油部首次发表声明承认了世界银行仲裁机构的决定，但没有详细说明采取了哪些步骤。

    英国“金融时报”周一报道，世界银行机构命令埃及向Union Fenosa Gas（UFG）支付款项，这是西班牙Gas Natural和意大利Eni的合资企业。

    达米埃塔液化天然气（LNG）工厂由UFG拥有80％的股份，其余20％由国有企业EGAS和EGPC平均分配。

    Egypt 'taking steps' over $2 bln payment to Union Fenosa Gas

    Egypt said it was “taking all necessary steps” over $2 billion the World Bank ordered it to pay to Italian-Spanish Union Fenosa Gas (UFG) because of a lack of gas supply to an Egyptian plant in which the company has a majority stake.

    A statement from Egypt’s petroleum ministry for the first time acknowledged the decision by a World Bank arbitration body, but did not elaborate on what steps it was taking.

    The World Bank body ordered Egypt to pay the money to Union Fenosa Gas (UFG), a joint venture between Spain’s Gas Natural and Italy’s Eni, the Financial Times reported on Monday.

    The Damietta liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant is 80 percent owned by UFG, with the remaining 20 percent split evenly between state-owned companies EGAS and EGPC.
