The German government takes control Gazprom Germany, which at least temporarily owns the Wingas dealer in the country. The Economy Minister Robert Habeck announced that the Federal Network Agency will be appointed trustee of the German branch of the Russian company. Only on Friday, April 1, did the owner Gazprom announce the end of the participation in the German subsidiary. Habeck clarified that this was an interim solution. “The trust serves to protect public safety and maintain security of supply,” which is currently guaranteed, he said. The step is “absolutely necessary”. Today Berlin agreed that it is currently “not possible” to stop importing gas from Russia. “We have to break off all economic relations with Russia, but at the moment it is not possible to cut off energy supplies, we need some time,” said the German finance minister. Christian Lindner.
