EU launches antitrust case against Gazprom
The European Union first launched an investigation into Gazprom in 2012, blaming Russia’s biggest gas producer for anti-competitive practices in Central and Eastern Europe. It said Gazprom was hindering the free flow of gas to member nations, preventing the diversification of gas supplies, and imposing unfair prices on customers by linking the price of gas to oil prices.

Gazprom, with annual sales of some $100 billion, supplies about 30 percent of the natural gas used by the 28 countries of the EU.
