Igor Shuvalov Foreign Quotations

Above all, we are interested in the mutual ownership of assets, for one, when foreign companies own part of extraction in Russia, while Russian companies own part of processing industries in Europe.

The proposed bill will only restrict access to four mineral deposits, while in all other cases foreign companies will be able to create joint ventures with Russian firms.

We need European and all foreign companies to be able to invest in upstream in Russia, and for Russian companies to be able to invest in downstream to provide transparency. Companies need to have a right to invest openly without any restrictions imposed by the state.
