The European Commission has asked Romania to provide details on the privatization of Oltchim S.A.'s chemicals factory, following suspicions of the state not behaving like a private investor, and taking over Petrom's Arpechim Pitesti SA owned by OMV Petrom SA (BVB:SNP) might create advantages to Oltchim S.A., Competition Council Chair Bogdan Chiritoiu said. The privatization deadline has been set for December 2014. So far, State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic; S.C. Chimcomplex S.A. Borzesti (RASDAQ:CHOB) ; Oil Gas Trade LLC; Ningxia Baota Petrochemical Group Co., Ltd.; Junlun Oil Technology Development CO.,Ltd. and MOL Magyar Olaj- es Gazipari Nyilvanosan Mukodo Reszvenytarsasag (BUSE:MOL) have shown their interest.
