Slovakia eyes part-privatization of strategic oil stocks

摘要

Prague—The Slovak government has taken a first step toward creating a new agency to administer its state crude and oil products reserves with the expected involvement of a private investor. The Cabinet last week rubber-stamped a proposal to create a new state firm following the transfer of assets from the State Material Reserve of the Slovak Republic (SSHR SR), which currently administers the strategic oil reserves, and state-owned oil pipeline company Transpetrol.
