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.
Galp/Moeve merger could be positive, but Government will closely monitor it
The Minister for the Environment and Energy sees benefits in the operation that will combine the refineries of Galp and the Spanish firm Moeve because it creates a company of larger scale, but the Government will follow the deal very closely.
