Government sees Galp–Moeve alliance as 'positive'. 'We've gained' two refineries, emphasises minister

The Minister for the Environment and Energy, Maria da Graça Carvalho, says it is 'important' that Galp grows in size, which could result from the alliance being discussed between the Portuguese company and the Spanish firm Moeve, formerly Cepsa. In this regard, she considers the deal 'positive' and dismisses concerns about national energy sovereignty.
